It has been twenty days since I saw you
That boils down to about...
...480 hours
...28,800 minutes
...1,728,000 seconds
Not to mention a whole lot of missing you

I've torn up the letters
And burned the notes
You don't get to see what I said
Or know what I wrote

Time is no friend
It brings only pain
And I feel what I say
Has nothing to gain

It hurts a little less now
And as days turn into years
You will forget a great deal
But will you remember the girl in tears

As light begins to fade
Darkness
Emptiness
It all takes shape

The winds begin to change
So much colder now
Sinking deeper now

Look out below

The seasons start to change
It goes faster now
Stranger now

My dear nothing is the same
Just close your eyes
Say goodbye

Look out below

It goes faster
And harder
And deeper now

And its darker
And colder
And wicked out

But you are stronger
And braver
And better now

My dear you know
you'll get out

As darkness begins to fade
Light shines on a brand new day

The world begins to change
So much brighter now
There is beauty now

Look up now
Stand up now
You're free now

Shut down, get up
Over and over again
Lights out, enough
I can still see you, a shadow in the light
I can still feel you, closer than ever before

So just close your eyes
Let it  just fall in
Breathe now
Over and over again
There's no time like this
No time like now

Just let go and wake up

Maybe it's the way your smile captivates me
The way your words help me to see
The way your existence allows me to be

Could it be the depth in your eyes
The absence of lies
The way I hate to say goodbye

By chance is it the music you play
The powerful words you say
The way you make my day

Possibly the connection I feel
The way you seem so surreal
The ability you have to make my heart kneel

I hear the music, your voice, and your heart
I know i'm safe even when we're apart
I love every smile, every kiss, every touch
You make me into something I could only dream of being
Some kind of dazzling creature
But it's deceiving
I fear you have fooled yourself along with me
Hoping for something that cannot yet be
And I blindly fall for it
I hope and I pray there there is a way
To strip my dreams of their fictional title
I am so afraid to overstep you
To scare you away, to ultimately lose
I’ve never known anything quite this good
I don’t want it to end, though it could

And suddenly one day i’m no longer dazzling
I'm simply plain and weak and blind
I’m afraid, and I don't know what to do
I’ve never had anyone like me so long
Though my invincibility will soon be gone
I panic and stumble and try really hard
But you're getting farther and farther away
I miss your kisses, and all of your love
I miss being special and something worth love

I feel so broke now
So unsure and afraid
I don't know what I did to ruin it all

Staring back into my own eyes
Feeling nothing
Shut out the whole world
Fading away

We rise and we fall as the hills turn to dust
We sink or we swim, we do as we must
As hard as I try, I barely survive
Fading away

Don’t be fooled as my lips lay still
The internal scream is deafening
This continuous motion
I feel it crumbling
