I used to listen to my life, | |
I was so put together, | |
I chose what I wanted to be in that age of chasing sand, | |
The age of believing in everything, | |
But I couldn't save you, | |
I couldn't save what was taken away, | |
And I'm still singing, and you still can't stay. | |
You "loved life," and those words have lasted, | |
I just wish I would have had ears for more than what you said | |
Because I still feel the lack long after. | |
Such a light body, such a quiet gait leaving behind the weight of the world, | |
I'll always think it was too early to lose your shine, | |
I guess the means that ends us means nothing, | |
I just hope it's the peace we all need, | |
Because I could love and drown in your God damned smile lines, | |
But I think I burnt up watching you rallying to stay alive, | |
And I guess that's fine. | |
It seems we all get sick, | |
We all die in some no name hospital with the same colored walls, | |
And I guess that's fine, | |
But I want to swallow, I want to stomach, I want to live. | |
It's been a rough while and some days are worse than others, | |
There's no proper way to feel, no mirth, no levity, no amazing grace, | |
Just a flame on a lake floating away, | |
I can't let you lay, | |
I want you to know, I'm learning patience against my will, | |
I want you to know, I’ll get by, always barely scraping | |
With just a hunger, with just a heart apart, | |
It's a hell of a thing. |
I used to listen to my life, | |
I was so put together, | |
I chose what I wanted to be in that age of chasing sand, | |
The age of believing in everything, | |
But I couldn' t save you, | |
I couldn' t save what was taken away, | |
And I' m still singing, and you still can' t stay. | |
You " loved life," and those words have lasted, | |
I just wish I would have had ears for more than what you said | |

Such a light body, such a quiet gait leaving behind the weight of the world, | |
I' ll always think it was too early to lose your shine, | |
I guess the means that ends us means nothing, | |
I just hope it' s the peace we all need, | |
