Lyric

I try to let you go

But your name

Still clings to me

Like the last breath of a vanishing dream

Soft and slow, it lingers on

Unseen

Slipping through the cracks

Of my unraveling resolve

And still

A quiet weight remains

The unspoken guilt

Of loving you too much

Of taking up too much of you

One name

And the stillness breaks

The night

Once calm

Begins to shake

Forgetting you is not a door

It’s a hallway with no end

Barefoot, I walk

As memory calls

Your shadow dances on the walls

I tried to drown your voice

In silence

In noise

In distance

In defiance

But still

It rises

Somehow, always

A melody I can’t escape

And still I know:

Loving you was never the pain

But the truth is

I was never ready

To truly let you go

Letting go

Is a ghost

A whisper

A host

It clings to the air

And stains my skin

Where you end

And I begin

Still blurs and shifts

I hesitate

No farewell on my lips

Still calling you mine

Even now

One name

And the stillness break
