Barely Hanging On

I waited up all night for you to get it right.
You want to see my world? See everywhere I go?
I'll leave the door unlocked so you don't have to knock.
I waited up all night.

Every night I still wait for severance.
Every night you still prey on emptiness.
Can't you see that nothing is here? It's all gone.
Disowned life, disowned heart, and the list goes on.

Talking back, starting fights, talking lies,
Waiting up, wanting more, giving less.

No one sees you like I see you in me.

I just want you to know it's okay.
And you know there's no way anyone can take you home.
We all die alone.
But no one cares like I care when you're gone.
No one knows that you're even gone.

2010. You're back again, this time a bit older.
You haven't slept.
Your love's been kept in between these boulders.
You ring it out.
The waves call out, they feel you reaching for her.

No one sees you like I see you in me. And I see.

I just want you to know it's okay.
And you know there's no way anyone can take you home.
We all die alone.
But no one cares like I care when you're gone.
No one knows that you're even gone.

I waited up all night, til you could get it right.
You want to see my world? See everywhere I go?
But it's done. I'm gone. I'm lost.
I'm barely hanging on... I waited up all night.
