16 Years

It's only tears
Let them fall where they may
Soon you will see the moon
Come up from behind the clouds

Everything you left behind is gone
I've emptied out the drawers
And shut all of the doors

But I still can't shake your presence
It lingers the most
I'm living with your ghost
For a while that's how it is

It's only tears
Let them fall where they may
Soon you will see the moon
Come out from behind the clouds

And all your fears
Soon may they be allayed
Ready for moving on
But now you'll be strong

It'll be a while before it happens
This change that seems so certain
I'm counting out the days

If everything must happen
For a reason
I'm not sure that I believe them
When they say I'm doing fine

I'm sorting out my feelings as they come
Waiting for my fortune to be drawn
But if it doesn't come I'll make my own

I've gotten used to being without you
I guess that's normal now

It's only tears
Let them fall where they may
Soon you will see the moon
Come out from behind the clouds

And all your fears
Soon may they be allayed
Ready for moving on
But now you'll be strong

I'm still moving on at my own rhythm
With this change I didn't ask for
This sudden shift in pace

But I don't think I ever will forget you
The years we shared in silence
That awful tiny place

I'm sorting out my feelings as they come
Waiting for my fortune to be drawn
And if it doesn't come I'll make my own

I've gotten used to being without you
I guess that's normal now

And everyone that says I'm doing fine
Well I thank them for their good thoughts
But I can't hide the truth

Everything around me is still empty
The air still lingers heavy
The void still filled with grey

It's only tears
Let them fall where they may
Soon you will see the moon
Come out from behind the clouds

And all your fears
Soon may they be allayed
Ready for moving on
But now you'll be strong
