Old wounds ache Half-forgotten face Floats across my mind Where are you now? Your face is almost gone for me Your voice melted away Six long years Since I saw you Since I offered my heart Since you ripped it to shreds Did you mean to? Did you know? Four long years Since I stopped Lying awake And wishing For you to appear Three long years Since I met another Who accepted my heart And made it whole But still Burned there Is the ghost of you Why are you here? Here in my mind? I loved you so hard But that was before Was it all even real? Or was it a dream Of a boy Who was a best friend And nothing more Who won my heart Who didn't know Who tore it up Who I never saw Again? You stuck in my heart For two long years Before I figured out How to live again Breathe again Loosen your grip But you stayed there Lurked in the corners A phantom Of a broken dream Then I met a man With heart of gold Who loved me Loves me still Who I love back So much it burns But still You're here In my secret heart Six years And not a word Still nothing No sign You fell off the earth But you didn't fall out of My heart You've faded now An echo But I doubt you'll ever Truly leave My heart The way you Left My Life.

Six Years Since
Old wounds ache Half-forgotten face Floats across my mind Where are you now? Your face is almost gone for me Your voice melted away Six long years Since I saw you Since I offered my heart Since you ripped it to shreds Did you mean to? Did you know? Four long years Since I stopped Lying awake And wishing For you to appear Three long years Since I met another Who accepted my heart And made it whole But still Burned there Is the ghost of you Why are you here? Here in my mind? I loved you so hard But that was before Was it all even real? Or was it a dream Of a boy Who was a best friend And nothing more Who won my heart Who didn't know Who tore it up Who I never saw Again? You stuck in my heart For two long years Before I figured out How to live again Breathe again Loosen your grip But you stayed there Lurked in the corners A phantom Of a broken dream Then I met a man With heart of gold Who loved me Loves me still Who I love back So much it burns But still You're here In my secret heart Six years And not a word Still nothing No sign You fell off the earth But you didn't fall out of My heart You've faded now An echo But I doubt you'll ever Truly leave My heart The way you Left My Life.
