Afterimage - Acoustic

I woke up to see you standing there
Full of shock, I was lost in your familiar stare
Feeling your breath in the frozen air
Touch running through my hair
Can't be imagined

You spoke so soft, I could barely hear
You were close, like a ghost
Not morose, but calming me of fear
Just as your image was coming clear
I reached but you disappeared
You disappeared

The second time, I was more prepared
Had to know more, but before you left me in despair
And out of habit I'll say a prayer, cause I need you to be here

I only wanted to understand
Why you went, what this meant
To prevent you from repeating it
But this encounter came to an end, and I'm left alone again
Alone again

Is this your spirit trying to make amends?
Now that you've left your family and your friends
Caught in the current from the ocean of your misery and regret

I thought I would follow you into the cosmos
Free from the sorrows of existence
But what I found was hollow
I wallow in what's left of your afterimage

Wanted to ask you what's after this
Wanted to know if it's really worth it
Want to know why you abandoned me
Find out what made you think you deserved this

But I can't see you anymore
Your presence fading away, my heart sinks through the floor
I can't see you
No, I can't see you

Is this your spirit trying to make amends?
Now that you've left your family and your friends
Caught in the current from the ocean of your misery and regret

I thought I would follow you into the cosmos
Free from the sorrows of existence
But what I found was hollow
I wallow in what's left of your afterimage
Of your afterimage
Of your afterimage
