And you ran straight for the heart
But I couldn't beg you to stay, anymore
Silence crept from the start
Leaving space to remain where you were
Even if we were the same
You seemed to stand in my way
Calling for an old name
That you'd end up leaving someday
And I couldn't ask you to change
Not in that way
And you wouldn't stay the same
If I could just wait
Halfway around the world
You could still figure me out, i know
I've been shooting signals
Slowing counting down
But you might be meant to stay (hold on to your ghost)
Till I can't see your face anymore
Running on fumes of memory
Till I can't see the way, that we were
And I couldn't ask you to change
Not in that way
And you wouldn't stay the same
If I could just wait
Hell is on your side
But I won't let you breathe in
I've been slow to write
Cause you know I should be there
