about

This song is for everybody who has ever lost anybody.

lyrics

I've been dancing with your ghost.
Refusing to admit, your not coming home.
I keep playing goodbye over in my mind.
Its a song I've now come to memorize.

All the pictures lined up neatly in a row, hanging so perfect no one would know.
On the inside all my walls were crumbling down.
All the best parts of me scattered to the ground.

People tell me I'll be fine but they don't hear the constant echo in my mind.
Of all the things you swore you would do, and all the tiny pieces that fit to make you.

If I could take us back, to the night before your last.
I would kiss your face and tell you about your place in this world.
All you continue to do and all that I love about you.
How when I close my eyes, your face is the last thing I see at night.
