I can't breathe
Sometimes the invitation is too much to bear and I must leave
Still I bleed
The wounds that losing you have left are waiting just beneath
You were real
Vibrant and alive, every memory is a moment I must steal
I will heal
But if healing means forgetting, then I'm better off with all the pain I feel
Everyone says that life goes on
I know I believe it
But I'm not pretending you're not gone
And I can
