I stand at the grave where they are about to lower your wooden box into. I watch on in silence with a single tear streaming down my cheek. I know that this is the worst of times and I just wish you could be here with me. I put my head down and look to the floor next to me, I feel like you're standing there. I know I will leave you this empty space next to me. This grave has been opened for you but I will be here with you by your side and we will be together for eternity.
I will wait until the end
When the pendulum will swing back to the
Darker side of our hearts bleeding
I will save this empty space
Next to me like its a grave
Where I lay a place for us to sleep eternally together
When I arrived home, I looked around the room. Everything I saw reminded me of you. I looked at our photographs and the gifts we had bought each other, over Birthdays, Anniversaries, Valentines and Christmas. I search the house for other things that show how we were. All the photos show how great we were together and how happy we were. I just wish you were here with me now.
I have been
Searching for
Traces of
What we were
I lay down on our bed and think about you. Are you a ghost now? Or have you moved on straight away? I feel that you are here now, so I think you must be a ghost, that's all I have left of you now. I fall asleep and dream of all the good times we had and when I awake to see that there's nobody next to me I feel that everything we had has gone.
A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
Is all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all
When I have awoken I pace around our house again and look at all the photos again and again. I feel a chill, so cold. Is it you? Are you talking to me or even saying my name? 'Benji' I breathe slowly in and out and see the steam coming from my mouth, it really is so cold. I suddenly feel like you're standing right next to me. Are you here? Can I really feel you here with me? Are you going to haunt me forever?
So here I am
Pacing around this house again
With pictures of us living on these walls
I see my breath in the cold of the air that I breathe and I'm wondering
I'm wondering if its you that I feel if its you that I feel here
Haunting me forever
I sit down on our sofa and look around the room we had shared. I'm not looking for anything that reminds me of you any more, only of the things that involve Us. I'm not trying to bring back old memories because all they do is make me hurt inside. I only want to know that you're okay and that you're here with me. Will you please look down on me and be by my side forever?
And I'm not looking for
Anything but us
Anything but what we were
And I'm not asking for
Any memories
I only want to know you're here
I lay down on the sofa and imagine you're here lying with me. I imagine I'm holding onto you and wishing that it was real. All I have left is a ghost of you here. I wish I could awake to you being by my side but instead I have to dream. I have nothing left of what we were, only you haunting me.
A ghost of you
Is all that I have left
Is all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all
