Losing you

the first bird that sings

it meant everything 

we lived our lives before that moment

i couldn’t bear to bring

to bear on anything

the force that would set things in motion

but the sky is the color of night

and the day holds the world in your shadow

and i could never find

a reason

to change

i thought that losing you

would be easy to do

i never thought that we would feel it

if only we were free

then everything would be

as if the pain never existed

but the sky is the color of night

and the day holds the world in your shadow

and you could never find

a reason

to change

And it doesn’t matter

No none of it matters

There is no forgiveness

But there’s no anger either

Just the sorrow that you lived

This way

So lay down beside her

Claim your piece of eternity

leave us this reminder

Now and ever after

You’ll be capable of loving someone freely

and the sky is the color you left her

and the day gave you back all your laughter

and you could never find

a reason 

to stay
