Absence

by Ghost Key

on See This Through (2018)

You're holding hands with absence
While I'm running out of time
Losing focus of what's important
You could disappear in a blink of an eye

While you're here
I can't help but think
That when you leave
I won't deserve any of our memories
I haven't done enough
But you gave me everything
When you leave
I won't deserve any of our memories

Don't act surprised
I somehow made this about me
You raised me about better than this
But I let you down over and over again

(Mike Sugar from Church Tongue)
Just know when you look at me
I've always had the best the intentions
I broke your heart when I fell out of rhythm
I hope you can forgive me

I'm not who I used to be
Letting you down is my new routine
You left the lights on
If there was an open the door
I'm still not walking through

I don't deserve these memories
I don't deserve these memories
I don't deserve these memories

While you're here
I can't help but think
That when you leave
I won't deserve any of our memories
I haven't done enough
But you gave me everything
When you leave
I won't deserve any of our memories

I never felt a greater disappointment
Then the day you asked
Why I stopped visiting
While you're here
I don't deserve any of our memories

You're holding hands with absence
While I'm lost inside my head
I failed you once before
And I know I will fail you again
I know I will fail again
