Die Out

When you're gone
My smile fades a different way than it did when you were here
Held out my hand for you to grab but then you disappeared
And both of us still seem to wander toward the ones we fear
And when you're gone
I'll steal your clothes while you're alone and haunt you on your own
Lead you astray, I'll make you stay, I'm breaking all your bones
You'll fill a space, won't separate, we'll turn from flesh to stone

I haven't seen the edge and I've been trudging up that hill
We're not the same as we were anymore
I should be used to change but I haven't felt the thrill
I thought we'd see the light of day but now you're gone

You're the one who'd lift me up when I was wearing thin
You're the one who held the tightrope now I'm struggling
You're the one who cleaned the mess but it's still crumbling
When you're gone

When you're gone
You're a fountain spewing blood that falls on everyone
Cant push or shove your tender tongue tell me who you've become
I'll sip the air straight from your lungs, you fit me like a glove

You showed up in my head
But I fell asleep instead
We're not the same as we were anymore
It all goes away why couldn't it just stay the same
Now I'm holding all of this weight when you're gone

You're the one who'd lift me up when I was wearing thin
You're the one who held the tightrope now I'm struggling
You're the one who cleaned the mess but it's still crumbling
When you're gone
I had a void that you destroyed that used to round me out
I kept the bricks tied to my shins until I start to drown
And as I collide with lack of pride, I see you clearer now
When you're gone

You lost the butterflies
And your voice started to rise
You haven't made up for the traits that I lack
You've had some trouble being who you thought you should attract
I haven't heard you scream so loud
Than when you couldn't tell if you were fighting me or yourself
For a feeling that was fleeting or the one that was revealing
A part of me that I hadn't known
Like every instance that I lost the courage to let you go
