"Hello. Are you there? Well obviously, of course you're not....
Life here without you isn't at all what I thought...
I thought that I could survive without your warm embrace...
But I can't sleep at night without seeing images of your face

I tried staying away, so my life doesn't come down to this
So your presence in my life isn't something I'll ever miss
Yet here we are, a year later, and I sleep to the sound of my tears
Here we are a year later, you're still one of my many fears...

You were like a drug to my system, you got me addicted to your touch
But ever since you up and left, I haven't been able to feel much
I became numb to all the things that once used to make sense
I lost touch of reality, you gained your happiness at my expense

My withdrawal came in the form of paranoia and delusions
You got me fooled and blinded by your deceitful illusions
You got me hanging on to broken promises and fake regret
Hanging on to a fading memory I won't easily forget

I found out the hard way that you don't have to die to be dead
You just have to fall hard enough and  allow someone to mess with your head
And the way I fell, boy did I fall too deep
But unfortunately I got attached to something I can't keep

Don't get me wrong, your happiness is everything I ever wanted
But you left me behind, and left my soul feeling haunted
But I wish you a life you didn't find here with me
I wish you find everything you ever wanted to be

Your happiness means everything so now I'm setting you free
I'm letting your memory go, so you can live life away from me
You'll always be here, my heart will always beat for you
I just hope you remember me in everything that you do
