It’s Been a While

It’s been a while

Since silence took the place of your voice

Of all we were

Only memories remain, not a choice

I tried to run

But even mirrors whisper your name

If I could just forget

That’s what I’d be doing today

But I can’t

Distance broke what we couldn’t save

Even close, we were drifting away

And I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back

Your absence became my shelter

And I’ve learned to live like that

If the longing knocks my door

I just act like I’m not home

Yes, I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back

I let you go

With my heart in pieces, but proud

I loved you too much

And lost myself in the crowd

Now it’s time

To move ahead, even if it stings

Don’t know if I’ll smile

Without you in everything

But I can’t

Life itself led us far apart

And somehow, that saved my heart

And I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back

Your absence became my shelter

And I’ve learned to live like that

If the longing knocks my door

I just act like I’m not home

Yes, I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back

(Bridge)

I walked away from myself

Just to search for you

But in the end I found

I was the missing view

And I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back

Your silence taught me freedom

Now there’s no more looking back

If the longing knocks my door

I just act like I’m not home

Yes, I’m missing you like crazy

But I won’t, I won’t turn back
