Breathe

There I was alone again, with just an echo as a friend

It’s much too empty to pretend

And this big old house just met it’s end

Laying naked on the ground,

I try to scream but there’s no sound

Every time I try to stand

I’m reaching for no man’s hand

Breathe. Close your eyes I tell myself

Breathe. This can’t be you it’s someone else

Breathe. You’re all alone it’s true

Breathe. You’ll find your way out of blue

I keep staring at your photograph

Noticing, trying to remember your laugh

These walls are so full of you

And no one else will ever do

But how can I wait

For someone who’s not even late

How can I long

For someone who won’t come along

Breathe. Close your eyes I tell myself

Breathe. This can’t be you it’s someone else

Breathe. You’re all alone it’s true

Breathe. You’ll find your way out of blue

And someday when I’m brave

I’ll talk with you by your grave

And hope you forgive me from up high

For never telling you my goodbye

But of this you can be sure

My love for you was pure

And even though it is no fair

We’ll meet again and that I swear

B.
