A World Without Me

Awake at night, I hold you close in my mind,

Waiting to see if you'll try to stop time. It's

Over your head. And I hope you can still feel the

Rain on your face when I'm gone. Know that

Life is good, even in a world without me.

Deep down underneath your skin, you're scared of losing.

Wanting so badly to curl up and cry,

Inside of your head, you're really just sad

That you can't be so co-dependent anymore.

Heavy as your heart is, you're not ready to let go

Of me, or the things we've shared together. And you try to be

Unaffected by the sad things you write songs about, but they're

Terribly close to your heart now, as you lay next to me, whispering

My name so sweetly and gently. I slowly fade out,

Even though I'd give anything to stay.
