Why did you give me your black shirt to sleep in? Was it shelter, or just a passing kindness? The fabric held the perfume of your skin But by morning, nothing was left behind us Why did you look at me as if it was forever If with closed eyes, I vanished from your heaven? Why did you hold me if you planned to release me? Why did you kiss me if you'd never keep me? The fabric held the perfume of your skin But by morning, nothing was left behind us Why did you look at me as if it was forever If with closed eyes, I vanished from your heaven? Why did you hold me if you planned to release me? Why did you kiss me if you'd never keep me? The shirt still lingers against my skin But your voice won't return again I'm drowning in folds of shadow and silence Like a ghost that never awakens Your indifference cuts colder than winter And I'm left speaking to echoes that wither Why did you swear the night beneath the Moon If by the dawn you left me in the gloom? Why did you swear the night beneath the Moon If by the dawn you left me in the gloom? Why did you hold me if you planned to release me? Why did you kiss me if you'd never keep me? Your black shirt still haunts my chest But my soul can't find its rest
