Lyrics

listening to your fading heart in a hospital beep
beep beep through the wifi
heard your voice trying to smile
but you grit your teeth and the nurse hung up
beeeeeeeeep

so I came back to find what’s left
of who I left so often before
the smell of spring rotten and warm
I heard your breathing through the door
I’ll hear your breathing ever more

what stays when you go
just a name just a soul
I guess you know when you know
I know

I see you when I look at me
tears feel like a leeching
your skin glowing red
I’ve been hiding
from the truth
thought if I ran away
no one could take me from you

what stays when you go
a box of dust a closet of clothes
and the touch of a soul
resting on my back
I’m wrestling with the fact that you are gone
but you are not
gone from me
