Packing Tape

Esther dear, don't leave me here lonely
The room is so hard to pack alone
You left me with clothes here and boxes of hope
That packing tape just cannot hold

We've done the trip twice, but it's not the same
Cause now you have no return date
At the airport I said I'd always be yours
You still flew off searching for more

So what can I say

While you're forgetting
Baby, I'll be remembering

Little mistakes I make every day
That just need a little time to change
What nobody knows is when I cross the road
I still reach for your hand to hold

Does the bed sink when you wake from a dream
And turn around to tell it to me
I cannot sleep, I'm awake wondering
Do you do the same things as me

But we both know

While you're forgetting
Baby, I'll be remembering
So while you're forgetting
Baby, I'll be remembering

If someone asks I'll say we just grew apart
Like a pair of vines
Climbing the house which we once intertwined
Soon enough someone cut our roots
So of our connection there's no living proof

While you're forgetting
Baby, I'll be remembering
So while you're forgetting
Baby, I'll be remembering

Oh, do you miss the way that I tried
Do you still sleep alone at night
Did I waste too much of your time
I love you, I'm sorry, goodbye
