about

this is a song i wrote about the different stages of losing a loved one. i produced and recorded it myself, and i'm pretty proud of the strings i did in it hehe

lyrics

I hate when I see
A clock hanging on a wall
Takes everything in me not to tear it down
And smash it across the floor

I hate how the second hand
Sends a shiver down my spine
Each second that passes is one step closer
To the day you'll no longer be mine

And I know, I know
We've had more time than we were supposed to
And the years we had were a blessing,
Even though you may be forgetting

And I hope, I hope
That you're still able to smile
Like you did when we were younger,
I wonder

Cause I will always see your face
In the stars that scatter the sky,
And I will always remember how your
Hand feels laced in mine,
And I don't want another touch
If that touch isn't from you
Cause honestly, what's the point of life
If I can't spend it with you

I hate how I have to pretend
Like you're not getting worse
I try to be strong when you're with me,
But I cry once you fall asleep

I don't get how people do this,
The world feels like it's caving in around you
And I will hold you till the day that you...
I don't wanna say it

Cause I will always see your face
In the stars that scatter the sky,
And I will always remember how your
Hand feels laced in mine,
And I don't want another touch
If that touch isn't from you
Cause honestly, what's the point of life
If I can't spend it with you

Come back to me
Stay with me please
Cause I'm pretty sure the sun only shines
From the light in your eyes
I know it's not fair
I wish it was me instead
But I'm not gonna run
I'll be right by your side till the day

That the lights fade,
And you can't hold on,
So that you'll know
You're home

Cause I will always see your face
In the stars that scatter the sky,
And I will always remember how your
Hand felt laced in mine,
And I don't want another touch
If that touch isn't from you
Cause honestly, what's the point of life
If I can't spend it with you
