Departure

I still see you there
Like a shadow in the hallway
Occupying space in your design
My mind in disrepair
Like the house in which you lived
Like every picture on the wall you left behind

But you're not gone
I still see you in her eyes
And I hear your voice, echoing in mine
But what if I am wrong
And what I'm hearing isn't true?
I'd rather suffer madness, than let go for good
Than let go of you

In the end, are we just chasing
(The time that we've spent our lives wasting?)
All I hope is that you're happy now

I'm still so aware
Of the hole that's in my chest
I keep trying to fill it up with something new
Still there's nothing there
Even two years since you left
Turns out nothing fits it quite the same as you

But there's beauty in your death
I see clearer than before
(I found closure in absence)
I was blessed to, to have loved you
And have lost you, than to never have loved you at all

Than to never have loved you at all
Than to never have loved you at all

In the end, are we just chasing
(The time that we've spent our lives wasting?)
All I hope is that you're happy now
Every flame, will wither to embers
(But your warmth I'll always remember)
I'll keep on chasing the time now gone

But there's beauty in death
I found closure in absence
I was blessed to have loved you and lost you
Than never have loved you at all
I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy now
