Your kisses still burn on my lips
Your voice still echoes in my ears
I still feel the traces of your fingertips
& Your hot breath caught in my hair
I know I have to come to grips:
I’ll never be told the words I wish to hear
You’re that something I need
A something no longer there
So I’m learning how to breathe -
How to breathe without air
It’s the way the stars don’t shine
The way the sky stays gray
It’s the way I want to make you mine
When you’ve already drifted away
It’s so hard to ignore this heartache
When your smell lingers on the sheets
How I hope one day I’ll wake, (Now that it’s cold & empty)
And you’ll be lying next to me (This bed just seems too big)
You’re that something I need
A something no longer there
So I’m learning how to breathe -
How to breathe without air.
