When You're Not Here

It's like I saw into your eyes the first time

You've been coming on, a long time

Feels like centuries, I've been so blind

Now You've been acting

Like you don't even care

I can't imagine how it felt to feel invisible

For so long - hurts like acid rain

When it's 105°, thirst keeps you alive

I would have died, but I'm not you

How do you live, without water?

How do you breathe, without air?

How do you try, without reason

How do I love, When you're not here?

It's like I feel the thoughts you dreamt

They overcome me like a

Rushing waterfall, don't drown

Don't get sucked too far below the crashing waves

But it's too late

You wrote the map, but mountains move

And nothing seems the same as it was

Two hours pass and it's a different sun

Forgive me, it isn't for the weak

I didn't know the pain you felt

So how do you live, without water?

How do you breathe, without air?

How do you try, without reason

And how do I love, when you're not here?

When you're not here?

It didn't have to be, so complicated

It didn't have to take, so many years

It didn't have to hurt, both sides

Now that I know, and I know you feel -

No one can live without water

How do you breathe, without air?

And how do you try without reason

So how do I love, when you're not here?

When you're not here

When you're not here

When you're not here

When you're not here
