You left

You re gone But I m here I know I can breathe Your sweater hangs in half-light Dust gathering on the sleeve I used to wait beside the doorway For "I was wrong to leave." I left before the rain stopped falling I thought you d wait there for my call I touched the silence, heard it answer "You can stand here on your own." I kept you waiting for an answer I see the hurt I couldns sname But dawn came through the open window And I stepped out of that frame You re not here I m not there Just me and colors of the day In the colder light I m learning how to breathe without you Breathe without me You re gone, but I m here I m gone. You re still here Dons scall me back tonight I wons scall you back tonight I can breathe, I can breathe Half-drunk wine beside the window A cigarette gone cold in rain We said a thousand little nothings But never named the pain I read the letters that you left me The word "we" wore thin with time I crossed the midnight street without you That first "no" sounded like mine The glass is clear. The street goes quiet No name to trace, no place to hide I hear your footsteps moving onward My heartbeat keeps the time tonight You re not here I m not there Just me and colors of the day In the colder light I m learning how to breathe without you Breathe without me My "forever" was a sketch Rain washed it off my chest I left a shadow at your door I dons slive in it anymore I cans sundo the night I left But I can choose what happens next The city goes quiet I am mine You re not here And that s all right Just me and colors of the day When silence turns to music I let the morning in Let you go I can breathe again You re gone, but I m here I m gone. You re still here Gone, gone Here, here I can breathe Let it be
