Lyric

I watched you from a distance, all this time

Staying in the shadows, out of your line

Keeping my space, so I wouldn’t be a burden

That was the only way I knew how to love you

It was everything I had, just a silent devotion

(Uu-)

When the day came and you reached out to me

Telling me your love, setting your heart free

I used the noise of the world as my shield

I made excuses, let my heart stay sealed

"I'm too busy," I said, and the words died away

And I missed the only thing I should've said that day

Ah—

Now you’re gone, and I’m staring at the empty space

Searching for the ghost of your beautiful face

The memory of your tears is a blade in my chest

Tearing me open, giving me no rest

It’s a weight that I carry, a debt I can’t pay

Oh, it’s breaking my heart, more and more every day

Ah—

A single white flower, standing all alone

Drenched in the night dew, chilling to the bone

It strips away my lies, shows the truth I tried to hide

I loved you then, I love you still, deep inside

Ah—

If I’m allowed, I’d give this flower to you

If I could find the strength to start anew

I’d throw away the regret that has nowhere to go

And scream out the love that I wanted to show

If I’m allowed, I’d hold you again

Stronger than ever, until the very end

Now you’re gone, and I’m staring at the empty space

Searching for the ghost of your beautiful face

The memory of your tears is a blade in my chest

Tearing me open, giving me no rest

I love you... I still love you
