I woke up to an empty bed again. The spot where you used to lay seems to have eroded away. I keep replaying the day you left and I did nothing to stop you. I just sit and cry myself dry everyday, wishing you were here. The bouquet you gave me is finally starting to dry up and wither away, just like the love we had. I wrap myself in the blanket we shared on cold nights, sharing secrets and hot chocolate, watching snow drift down feeling sorry for all the lonely people stuck outside (You never knew how lonely I was, even when you were next to me.) Now I'm left with unanswered questions and wishing I could turn the clock back to one minute before midnight that ink-stained evening and keep it there forever. That way you'd never go out the door, I'd take you back in my arms, and confess all I did wrong.

But now I just ache from all the scars and questions and I'm drowning...(because this ship had a hole in her a long time ago). I'm sorry for the mistakes. There was only so much I could do. I only hope you're doing well, wherever you are and that maybe you still think of me from time to time. Just know that I'll always love you. Always...
You disappear with all your good intentions
And all I am is all I could not mention
Like who will bring me flowers when it's over
And who will give me comfort when it's cold

She took a plane to somewhere out in space
To start a life and maybe change the world
See I never meant for you to have to crawl
No I never meant to let you go at all

Don't ever say goodbye

See my head aches from all this thinkin'
Feels like a ship God, God knows I'm sinkin'
Wonder what you do and where it is you stay
These questions like a whirlwind, they carry me away

Who will bring me flowers when it's over
And who will give me comfort when it's cold
Who will I belong to when the day just won't give in
And who will tell me how it ends and how it all begins

Don't ever say goodbye

I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
