This city and I share a heart,
Your absence forever wandering through the streets
Silence follows me around without footsteps
Forgiven, all human sins.
Except our love story
Heaviness holding my tongue down
Do words give my missing you away?
The empty spaces,
Shroud my despair in a solar-powered smile,
Praying on Temple steps
To a God, I cannot find
To please keep you safe.
Still looking up at the sky
Knowing that it holds a roof over your head.
Pushing the world back
With the strength you gave me
Let me find the love
I loved you with
A reason to be alive
Stitch it piece by piece back in me
Reveling in the beautiful colors of this broken mosaic of light.
Let me find the love that I loved you with
For my own mortal time.
Your absence forever wandering through the streets
Silence follows me around without footsteps
Forgiven, all human sins.
Except our love story
Heaviness holding my tongue down
Do words give my missing you away?
The empty spaces,
Shroud my despair in a solar-powered smile,
Praying on Temple steps
To a God, I cannot find
To please keep you safe.
Still looking up at the sky
Knowing that it holds a roof over your head.
Pushing the world back
With the strength you gave me
Let me find the love
I loved you with
A reason to be alive
Stitch it piece by piece back in me
Reveling in the beautiful colors of this broken mosaic of light.
Let me find the love that I loved you with
For my own mortal time.
