It's been fifthteen minutes since you're body was warm
Since your eyes opened towards my face
Fifthteen minutes with you not in it
With a ghost having taken your place
And I can't comprehend, can't understand
Why the world just keeps on going
Everyones living, but you're not living
And my blood just keeps on flowing
Your eyes are closed, your hand I hold.
And my cheeks are wet with tears
And I can't get past that this was the last
day I'll have you near
But I still have the rose and the note that you wrote
Telling me it'll all be okay
I've read it to the end and I'll read it again
Just to hear you say
The words on the paper thin as a whisper
Bringing you back to me
It's been thirteen days since you made me promise
Never to say goodbye
The roses have fallen our faces solemn
As your spirit took to the sky
But the tears won't end I'm alone again
Sitting with the rose on the floor
A blush to my cheeks, it's nearing two weeks
Since I left through the hospital door
But I still have the note, every word that you wrote
Forever etched in my mind
The roses stays red now that you are dead
Like the heart you had left behind
Still it keeps beating, like moments are fleeting
A Hummingbirds wings in my chest
You held to my hand your skin like sand
As you closed your eyes to rest
You didn't say goodbye, didn't want to lie
Didn't wanna go just yet
I remember the way it was going to be okay
As across your bed I wept
Holding onto the rose and the note that you wrote
Promising to read it again
The words on the paper thin as a whisper
Bringing you back to me
It's been thirty-two months and they say it's too long
To grieve the empty space
That was my heart til you took it apart
Leaving a rose in it's place
They say that it's time, to say my goodbye
But I won't break the promise I made
I won't forget not just yet
Wishing you could've stayed
You were my lover, always and forever
I can't just let you go
I've tried to get better, I still have your letter
The tears continue to flow
I've tried to smile, they call it denial
Sometimes I whisper your name
It echoes alone, no one is home
nothing will be the same
Your hands losing hold, your skins growing cold
I miss you so fucking much
I want you near, I need you here
To feel your gossamer touch
But all I have is the rose and the note that you wrote
That I've read again and again
The words on the paper, thin as a whisper
Bringing you back to me
It'd been five years since I walked out the door
And you faded away into death
I've tried to move on, but it's hard to be strong
With a broken heart in your chest
And I remember your eyes, never said goodbye
Just walked away from you
Left though the door, said nothing more
Just trying to live through
The pain that was living, friends kept giving
Sorry's that didn't mean a thing
They all gave up, said it was too much
Couldn't bring you back to me
All alone, I sat in my home
My fingers stroked the petals
That was the rose and the note that you wrote
My heartbeat refuses to settle
And the words on the paper thin as a whisper
Won't bring you back to me
I've read it to the end, read it again
Trapped in my very own grief
For the letters just a letter, nothing gets better
Theres not much more I can do
So here is the rose and the note that you wrote
Bringing me back to you
