You left without a word to me If I had known, I'd never have let you leave But still, you did what you always do Made the choice for me, you did it again You left behind a letter I held for so long Too scared to open, I know that was wrong But I wasn't ready for a goodbye Handwritten and laid out in ink to cry Paper scars you carved in me I saw you in places you'd never be I wished you there but you were gone Only an echo I kept holding on Your name on the walls Your ghost in my sheets These echoes we breathe They're all I keep These echoes we breathe And after leaving me, breaking me down Making me believe I'd never come back around You just show up now and think somehow You can fix it all, right here and now? Do you even know the hurt your absence made? You must be crazy to believe A simple healing could erase All the pain and scars your leaving gave Your name on the walls Your ghost in my sheets These echoes we breathe They're all I keep These echoes we breathe
