The Note

I see you keep falling
And the world keeps spinning around
I watch you in the morning
There's a weight holding you down

I know I'm losing you
At a pace too slow to grieve
No screams without a warning
I hold the old you in my dreams

I got your note about you leaving
But I never thought you'd leave
Facts don't need you to believe them
I was blind, I couldn't see

There's a pressure on my chest
And a lump inside my throat
I pretend you never did mean
All those words you wrote

Well I can't hold my breath
For another fifteen years
Can't see the road ahead
Can't grieve what I can't accept

I got your note about you leaving
But I never thought you'd leave
Facts don't need you to believe them
I was blind, I couldn't see

I got your note about you leaving
But I never thought you'd leave
Can't find you something to believe in
Can't get you what you need

I thought the bad times
Were all just in your head
Before the aches of real life
Came crashing through instead

I got your note about you leaving
But I never thought you'd leave
Facts don't need you to believe them
I was blind, I couldn't see

I got your note about you leaving
But I never thought you'd leave
Can't find you something to believe in
Can't get you what you need
