Your eyes
Your eyes
Like stars
Like prisms filled with truth
But you’re no longer mine to lose
You’re no longer mine to lose
But in the sea
In the sea
The waves
Will bring you back to me
And everything
Every little thing
Will be
The way that they were
Before you walked out the door
Before you walked right out the door
But these nights
Are growing so long
Without you beside
Me when I fall asleep
And I know
That you’re somewhere else, on your own
And I wish
That I was the one
To keep you
Safe from the cold of the world
And you’d be my girl
But I know that it’s gone
That possibility
That one chance where you stay right here with me
Because those winds have passed
And they left nothing behind
But the scars on my chest
Where your heart met mine
Tied with sutures and thread
Hoping to heal, but it can’t
When I tear it again
As I lie in my bed
Holding that thread
That thread back to you
I can’t let go of it
Or you might let go too
Just know I’m here
I won’t lose you
There’s nothing more I can do
In the light
In the light
Of the moon
I will hold you tight
I won’t let go of you
