You might‘ve asked me how I’ve been But you always knew how to tell. The silence is thick, the shadows long, But what did I expect? I hear the songs Your ghost still sings, You‘re exactly where you need to be. But could you come back and haunt me? I might‘ve told you how I’ve been But I refuse to drag you back down. I‘ll learn to live in your absence Without your arms holding me up. I forgot how to cry By reading the manual left on your bedside. Late at night I dig through the drawers But why can’t I find where you hid your tears? My tounge went numb So you can’t ask me anything, But I still curl up on your bed when I can’t sleep.

Come Back
You might‘ve asked me how I’ve been But you always knew how to tell. The silence is thick, the shadows long, But what did I expect? I hear the songs Your ghost still sings, You‘re exactly where you need to be. But could you come back and haunt me? I might‘ve told you how I’ve been But I refuse to drag you back down. I‘ll learn to live in your absence Without your arms holding me up. I forgot how to cry By reading the manual left on your bedside. Late at night I dig through the drawers But why can’t I find where you hid your tears? My tounge went numb So you can’t ask me anything, But I still curl up on your bed when I can’t sleep.
