Waking up without you
Unaccustomed to the sound
Without your mellow voice
Echoing all around
I need a transformation
Raining from above
Someone with direction
Someone you could love
Now I'm locked in routine
Of heartattacks and pills
Where once there were roses
Now dusty windowsills
Nobody comes to visit
That's why it's so quiet
The wrinkles on my face conceal
The urge to start a riot
No, I'm far from hollow
Although my heart is broken
Leave me with the silence
Where last words are spoken
Forget my adoration
Forget all of my rage
Who knew you would leave me
Dying of old age
Closing my eyes, I'm with you
So alive and young
Open them to noiselessness
Words dying on my tongue
I never said I loved you
No matter how I tried
Until that last confession
On the day you died
Weeping at your bedside
Submerging you in tears
Wishing to relive it
Our youthful, happier years
Then you took my hand
And sometimes I still feel it
'I didn't mean to break your heart
I didn't mean to steal it'
'With this dying breath
Which I have saved for you
Know that I will always
Be loving you too'
'With all my heart and soul
Within me growing weak
I know you'll find the answer
To the questions that you seek'
I never found them darling
Even when hope knocked
I still belong to you
I'll always be Sherlocked
