It been almost 2 years
Since I knew for sure
That I loved you
It was the night you played in the mountains

And since then.......
I silence rooms
I silence rooms for you, you don't ask me to
I silence them so that I can hear what you're saying
So that they can hear what you say
So that you can hear yourself

Since then.........
I split myself, into hours
You're getting up, you've been out last night
Did you make it to work?
Did you have a good day?
Was the world unfair, unkind to you again?
I right the world for you
Do you remember, I remind you how important you are
I watch for your worries, and mend them ahead of time if I can

What do you need?
I make sense of you, when you can't.
Is it space? Is it care? Is it words?
And I give that to you.

And then even though I have forgotten who I am,
you invade and own that too.
When you're sad I can't watch, how can I help? Why didn't I see it coming? I could have saved that tear in advance. I should be better. I need to do better.

If you're happy, I'm ashamed, I'm sad because maybe this time I didn't do it
Maybe this time you had time, and gave your smile to friends, to someone else
When you're happy, remember I did that? Remember I helped,
helped so that you could enjoy that? Remember I held fast to you, when you lost you and I gave you back when you were lost.

If you're happy, has someone new caught your beautiful eyes
Because you have been clear,
Sometimes the only thing you're clear on, and don't need my help with - is that it's not me
I can help, but it will never be me
I am your help, your fix,  your support - but I am not your dream

And because you didn't ask, you won't, don't remember me.
You won't remember today was hard, you won't remember work was hell, you won't remember I need some care or words.

I hold fast to you because I know you'll turn around and ask me to remind you - Who am I?
But I've held on so tight, I have slipped through my own fingers.
