I Can Live With That
You looking past me every day
As if I weren’t there
I can live with that
You smiling again
Without a single care
I can live with that
The smile’s not meant for me
But it’s fine
I can live with that
Holding my hand, whispering my name
I could cry, so happy
I can live with that
You hold me close, stroking my hair
I lean in closer, and you say:
“I can’t live without that.”
And you walk away, walk away
Like we never happened
I can live with that
You’re smiling again, so I smile
And I say:
“I can live with that.”
Then, when you’re left alone, you fall
I try to catch you
I can-
You slip through my grasp
I can’t-
And you fall away into oblivion
Never again to see the sun
I can’t live
Knowing I was so close to saving
I can’t stop blaming myself
I can’t live with that
I can’t live without you
