Have you seen my words?
Did you take them with you when you left?
Because yesterday I know
I still have the right words to say
But now, it's like I'm filling in the spaces.

Have you seen my words?
Did you take them with you when you left?
Did you hide them behind the moon?
Because you know every night I'll stare at it
And every night I'll wonder if you're behind the moon too.

Maybe you hid them among the stars
Every shining one carrying a word
Because you know that I'll get tired counting them all.

Or did you put it in the wolf's howl?
Thinking I'll notice the similarities of the rhythm
And I'll stay awake and think of you instead.

Did you hide them underneath the tree
In the same place where we buried our pain and tears
So that for another time I'll let go of the pain I'm enduring?

Tell me if they're hidden in the treasure chest I never opened
Do you want me to unlock it
And face the secrets I've feared?

Did you mess up the words in my favorite book
So that I'll stop reading it, imagining
And reach my dreams instead?

The words, are they inside the vase
Where I display fresh flowers
So I won't notice them but see that there's something more beautiful?

Please do tell
I hope you haven't lost them
I hope you kept them but please say
For when you left you took my heart with you
And if you took my words you took my soul too.
