You used to take every chance to say I love you
Now all I hear is silence
I hope there’s a message in this bottle
Saying it’s okay to end like this
But you know bad habits were never my friends

You are gone
But you’re still breathing
It’s been awhile
Yet I’m still grieving
Nothing makes sense
Why the hell am I still bleeding?

I wonder if I cross you mind
Like you cross mine
The flower you once made grow there
Are covered in thorns or decayed
But their roots still stretch everywhere

Long gone are the nights we stayed up
Sharing secrets like they were gold
Always reminding each other we’d be okay
We’d be sharing our bed made for two someday

You are gone
But you’re still breathing
It’s been awhile
Yet I’m still grieving
Nothing makes sense
Why the hell am I still bleeding?

The universe brought us together
The distance broke us apart
I’m sorry I wasn’t closer
I’m sorry you were so far
(I’ll always love you)
