I didn't want you to leave
Inside of me there was a forest
With trees standing like soldiers
Hoping to prevent you from going
Inside of me
There was a wolf
Howling at the moon
Hoping you'd hear me
I didn't want you to leave
But I couldn't make you stay
So I choked the birds in my throat
And swallowed the ocean
I helped you pack while my heart whined
Then watched you go
Wishing you would come back
Knowing how I would still welcome you
That the door you left through could never be closed
How could it?
When the only time it's ever felt like home
Was when you were with me
