breathe without you

I watched the world fall through my hands Like sand that slips and never stands The nights were long, but you were gone And in the silence, I still hold on Your voice is a memory I can't erase A smile that time will never replace I reached for you in the dark But you're too far, and I'm left with the scars And I can't breathe without you here A heart that’s broken, a soul in fear I gave you everything, now it's all lost I'm standing in the ashes, no matter the cost Where did you go, when the light went out I’m drowning in the shadows, left with doubt The echoes of your name still haunt my dreams Like a river that never leaves the streams I tried to forget, but you stay near A ghost of love, a bitter tear I scream in silence, but you never hear Caught in a world that feels so unclear I gave you my heart, but it slipped away Now I'm left with nothing but yesterday And I can't breathe without you here A heart that’s broken, a soul in fear I gave you everything, now it's all lost I'm standing in the ashes, no matter the cost Where did you go, when the light went out I’m drowning in the shadows, left with doubt The pain cuts deep, but I can't let go I keep waiting for the love we used to know But you’re not coming back, and I’m alone Left in a world where the cold winds blow And I can't breathe without you here A heart that’s broken, a soul in fear I gave you everything, now it's all lost I'm standing in the ashes, no matter the cost Where did you go, when the light went out I’m drowning in the shadows, left with doubt I can't breathe, and I can't let go I gave you everything... now it's just so cold I'm drowning in the shadows... without you
