I can feel a million thoughts
threatening to break free

I try and be happy beside you
truth is
I want to fall to the floor and cry

I know I'll be okay
but I was hoping you'd tell me

now I'm sleeping alone
I have all night to cry

I'm afraid I'll wake up and not find myself

this isn't what I pictured
didn't know that sunset was our last

I felt the sunlight rain down on me
I held it as long as I could

deep breaths
I'm not alone

I have to remind myself
in this empty house
