You're Still Gone

Even though
You've been away for a while
I still see you smiling in my dreams
Just when
I thought I'd moved on
The pain in my heart reminds me you're gone
Our love is an evergreen
Still rooted in the earth
But now it's a pinewood box six feet below the dirt

And I still love you
With all my heart
And it kills me we have to be apart
Cause I still love you
When there's nothing left to love
How can you love a stone stuck in the ground
It's the hardest when I feel you next to me
Like my mind is telling me I can see you through the dark
But you're still gone
You're still gone
You're gone

The circle of infinity
On your left hand
Signifies that one without the other cannot stand
And now I'm crying on my knees
To the One that you now see
Why couldn't He have brought us as one
You and me

Cause I still love you
With all my heart
And it kills me we have to be apart
Cause I still love you
When there's nothing left to love
How can you love a stone stuck in the ground
It's the hardest when I feel you next to me
Like my mind is telling me I can see you through the dark
But you're still gone
You're still gone
You're gone

And though I prayed and prayed and prayed That He would keep you here with me
And though I cried and cried and cried
When I knew that you were leaving
I felt your grip slowly release my hand
The air from your lungs leave
And the lids on your eyes finally seal
I felt the tears roll down my cheeks
As I tried to bring you back
To where we were before

Cause I still love you
With all my heart
And it killed me when we were forever apart
Cause I still love you
When there's nothing left to love
How can you love a stone stuck in the ground
I have to constantly remind myself
Regardless of the pain I felt
Though I swear that I can feel you next to me
And when I realize it's not you
It's just a dream
Cause you're still gone
You're still gone
You're still gone
You're gone
