You're Still With Me

Whisper a sin into whichever ear
You seem to find the most luck
Tear in half my fragile heart
And leave me guilt struck

Walk away like all the rest
It seems the simplest way to go
Goodbye only hurts more now
You should have never said hello

Never hold my hand again
I've got to cut off your connection
Let me believe you're just passing by
And cancel out your affection

I know there are others by my side
But I'll never be able to replace
The way you pulled me into your hugs
Or your distinct smiling face

You'll always swim in my memories
I can't explain why I can't let it be
I wish this wasn't so complex
But you don't make it easy to break free

I'd rather walk backwards
Into the places you didn't exist
Because now that I've known your heart
My mind can't seem to resist

To strive on our best moments
To want you back here with me
Although I know it's best to move forward
The future's getting harder to see

Go now before I hold on too tight
I swear if you wait any longer I'll follow
Trace your steps 'til I see you once more
Go alone now, and keep me hollow

I'll find my own path down the road
With peace and another hand to hold
Though I'm scared to be without you
I've got to break loose of this cracked mold

Why can't see you see how hard you're making this?
The longer you wait the more it's gonna hurt
I'm trying to keep this as painless as possible
But you keep on lifting me out of the dirt

Explain to me what I've done so wrong
I always come out wrong in the end
Shredding my hope into segments
Using all my time to try and mend

Keep on talking about our strength
You say you'll "keep in touch"
I'd rather you never write again
Reading that letter would be too much

I'll see you on another day
When I'm no dreading another one lost
I've made one too many pathetic mistakes
And I've never come to see the cost

Maybe one day our eyes will open
Yet that can't happen while you stick around
So I'll walk left and you walk right
And we can depart without a single sound

I'll walk north and you walk south
Or if you'd rather east, then I'll go west
As long as there's plenty of distance
As long as you remember I loved you with my best
