Wonder how you measure out the days before you leave
Wake more days unhappy, still you can't help but believe
Spending tears is cheaper than the pain of being alone
And won't it be a shame to climb so far just to let go
Wishes paired with fear would tend to keep you up at night
Burning midnight oil with your plans to make this right
Only to be gasping waiting for the curtain call
Sometimes holding on leaves you with nothing left at all
In the end you've traced your steps back where this all began
Looking for someone to hold and treat you better than
The one who said he loved you and the one who came before
Someone with a hole in their life shaped to fit in yours
