You

your voice fills all the cracks in the floorboards of this house

and i'm left looking out the windowpane

thinking of what i should do now

the floors creak and leak your screams

and all i want to do is shout

and the droplets of rain racing away

gravity feels so damn proud

as i fall through the floor

you fill my ears with empty promises

and i land inside an empty grave

built for two

i just wish that i could see your face again

water splashes on my face

it's all i can do just to dull the pain

from the nightmares and restless nights

i can still feel your breath on my tired eyes

can you tell how scared i am?

because i've grown numb from all the memories

can you tell i've done all i can?

i just want sleep but you haunt all my dreams

i can't take this, please

won't you let me be?

i'm not sure where to go from here

but i won't move my feet

the cold wind brushes on my neck

as i step outside hoping to forget

why i let you down and left you down

in a box i cannot see
