Lyric

If you're leaving now

Do it softly, without sound

Like the sea when it stops

Knocking gently on the ground

Your hands are on the keys

My heart is at the door

We say goodbye like strangers

With fear hidden in our drawers

But I…

I won’t let you go

Without a “you’ll remember me.”

Without telling you again

That each choice will carry off

A piece of us that won’t return

If you leave me now

Take me with you

Even if you don’t want to

You checked the time too quickly

As if time was just to blame

But I just watched us breaking

Through the cracks inside the frame

I was wrong to give you space

If the space became a void

But I…

I won’t let you go

Without saying you were mine

Every distance just disguises

All the fear we try to hide

Of being far too close inside

If you leave me now

Take me somewhere

You no longer breathe

And tomorrow you may laugh

But not at me

‘Cause the ones who love in silence

Shout enough for two

I won’t let you go

Without writing on your skin

That you are what always lingers

When everything else gives in

If you leave me now…

Don’t you ever lose me
