I can see your shadow but there's no you;
I can hear your whispers but not your voice.
What do you want me to do?
I don't want to feel like this, I have no choice.
I can see your footprints in the wood's mud;
I can hear your laughter but not your smile.
Confidence spiralled with a thud;
Happiness left, it fled, it ran a mile.
File a missing persons report;
This manor is haunted by your ghost.
I can't believe how much this hurts;
I miss you the most.
You should come back if only for the night;
I need you, you need me, make my wrong right.
You should come back;
Calm my anxiety attack.
You should come back.
You should come back.
Vanished without a trace;
Disappeared into thin air.
I can't remember the lines in your face;
Did I forget to cherish them or do I even care?
And that's exactly what terrifies me;
I've lost my personality.
Withering away into nothing;
Gaunt like a goddamn stick;
Decimating, rotting;
Like I don't give a shit.
File a missing persons report;
This manor is haunted by your ghost.
I can't believe how much this hurts;
I miss you the most.
You should come back if only for the night;
I need you, you need me, make my wrong right.
You should come back;
Calm my anxiety attack.
You should come back.
You should come back.
I'll call your name until the cows come home;
Until the fat lady belts her final note.
I can still feel your remnants in my bones;
The marrow is mixed with your ghost.
Come back to me;
Aim for my anxiety.
It vibrates off me;
Come back to me.
You should come back;
I need you.
I am under attack;
You know I do.
