As I hear the piano keys sound
And each string from the guitar
I travel back to your tender arms
Where I found safety in all its truth
You do not know nor comprehend
How much you truly meant to me
And as the time passes nothing fades
The music continues on each day
My dreams capture you in purity
But in reality I am here without you
And my heart silently sobs daily
For I've lost the best thing I ever had
Because fear and uncertainty
Bonded to me in an unfamiliar place
Like a husband I served them
These things had broke me
And as I lay upon my empty bed
My mind inevitably thinks of you
I conceive every possibility
I shed every tear that sings longing
But you will never trust my heart
The way I had trusted you that day
I left every chain that tied me down
In hopes that I'd find a freedom
That only you will ever understand
Nonetheless I tossed it like dust
And it dissipated into the air
Yet I breathe it in and choke endlessly
On the wonder of all that was
And everything that could've been
Instead I'm consumed by the rush
Of a city that holds so many promises
But you are not within them
Leaving me hopeless of the future
Where you and I walk hand in hand
And I quietly die in the midst of it all
