I have been away
I never learned how to stay
But I’ve been lying wide awake
Searching for the words that I can say
You told me once what I thought was true
Only to find an empty wound
So please, don’t act like there’s nothing wrong
You know there is, but you’re already gone
Oh, I have watched
These buildings things fall
But you don’t seem
To care at all
But I guess that that’s what hurts the most
The fact that you had seemed so close
But also farther than I could reach
Just like a shoreline on the open sea
But I can only just regret
That I had only tried my best
But I guess that my best just wasn’t it
I hope you find what it is you’ve missed
But I know that you had never meant
To cause this pain; to cause this mess
But now I can rest my head
Now I can sleep again
I know that one day you will find your own
Someone to love, someone to hold
I only wish that we had had more time
Before the spring had come to melt the ice
But now the ground we knew has come and gone
Now the season’s change is done
But with the sun I will start again
I hope you find what it is you’ve missed

Apology Song
05:14

I know I have started to change
I know I was wrong
I was gone
You are not the one to blame
For all my mistakes
It was my own fault
For leaving that day
I stood beneath the wooden door frame
And I walked away
The last time I saw your face
But by then was too late
So I’ll write these words to you
An apology song
In hopes it will do
But I understand if this
Is too unexpected
Out of the blue
I just hope that you
Are doing alright
I wish that I knew
Wrong from right
I still wish I had you
I know I have started to change
Please don’t think that you are to blame
I just guess that our two separate hearts
Pushed us farther and farther apart

In the Light

In the light
Of the moon
In the darkest night
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

Old Friend

Old friend
Where have you gone?
I saw you run
Away last night
Silence
Broken by footsteps
The tear of the final thread
That kept the sutures in tight
But wherever you are
I hope that you’re alright
Old friend
Can you hear me shout?
Can you hear me now?
As I cry out your name
Echoes
Bouncing off windows
Like glass panes of microphones
That mirror the same
I know that it’s hard
But it’s alright to be afraid
If you just close your eyes
I promise it will be okay
