nightingale

Darling, I've got something to say to you

The nightingale will have to send the message through

I'm guarding my sorrow and my agony

The hardest part is knowing you're not missing me

I'll miss you longer than I've known you

The winter's colder than it ought to be

I don't know when or even if I'll see you again (see you again)

I wish no harm outside these arms you'll soon forget (soon forget)

I must refrain from seeing your face

Though I want to (though I want to)

I won't wish you a merry Christmas, but I'll send it anyway

From a distance

Mourning you and everything we could've been (could've been)

We were never in love, that's the saddest thing

The taste of your name used to go down easily (easily)

Then turned into a ghost that I'll just have to grieve

I'll miss you longer than I've known you

So long, my love, we weren't meant to be

I don't know when or even if I'll see you again (see you again)

I wish no harm outside these arms you'll soon forget (soon forget)

I must refrain from seeing your face

Though I want to (though I want to)

I won't wish you a merry Christmas, but I'll send it anyway

From a distance
