lyrics

if I learn to live without
if I learn to live without you near me
who will I have to cure my doubt
who will I have to get me on my feet again

what will I do if you're not mine
what will I do with all my empty evenings
I hate this feeling in my mind
I hate this feeling of my heart beating again

as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you

tell me when I might not feel
tell me when I might not feel your ghost in me
I wish that I could make you real
I wish that I could make you real to me again

as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you

there's so much I had to say
there's so much more I to day but now your gone
I guess it had to end this way
I guess it had to end to make me start again

as you forget what I meant to you
I'll try and always remember when
I would have died
if I'd just kept holding on
holding out for you
