lyrics

i smell her on your shirt
and i taste her on your teeth
you're holding me but there's nothing there,
there's nothing left for me

i see her in your gaze
it's vacant now and it's slipping away
and my limbs are limp,
i'm out of strength
won't bother anymore trying to get you to

stay
there's nothing more i can
say
i know you're gonna leave me alone
in this life we've built for us,
our home
won't try and make you stay

and i'd keep lying, saying it's fine
but i feel her in our room
i'm trying to let it go but i still feel something
and i swore you felt it too
but there ain't no love when you look my way
now it's just emptiness
and that hurts even more than the fighting to hold you down
it hurts more than trying to get you to

stay
there's nothing more i can
say
i know you're gonna leave me alone
in this life we've built for us,
our home
won't try and make you stay

so please say goodbye so i don't have to
cuz i couldn't bare to speak it
i'm thinking bout' your grin and you holding my chin
making my knees go weak
and your laughter like sparks lighting up my dark
all this time, but i guess that's all
so please tell me when you have the guts
don't expect me to make that call
don't expect me to

say
goodbye, cuz it doesn't feel like
time
my love for you still burning here bright
so leave me alone in what was our home
and i will stay
i will stay
