Lyric

I waited for a sign, a call, a text

Wondering what was coming for us next

But now I know the messages won’t come

The silence says it all, my heart is numb

If the thread that tied us together has frayed

I’ll let it go, let the memory fade

I knew this day would eventually arrive

The usual end for us to survive

You flew away to a world so wide

Leaving all the shadows we used to hide

Into the vastness, into the blue

Further than anyone I ever knew

I never wished for such a day to rise

To see the light go fading from your eyes

I wanted more, I wanted just to dream

To have you here, right beside me, so it seemed

I wanted you... right here by my side

I suffered through the cycles, time and again

The burning sting, the overwhelming pain

But now it’s over, the fire’s gone cold

A story finished, a secret told

The faded promises, I’ll wash them away

Into the waters of a yesterday

I feared this moment, deep in my soul

The broken pieces I couldn’t control

You’ve traveled on to a different light

Moving beyond the reach of my sight

Into a tomorrow I cannot see

Leaving the ghost of what used to be

I never wished for such a day to rise

To see the light go fading from your eyes

I wanted more, I wanted just to dream

To have you here, right beside me, so it seemed

A wider world

A different sky

But I’m still here

Wishing you were by my side
