In the silence of the night, I lose myself in you Your scent still lingers in my morning hue The memories burn like embers on my skin And emptiness is the only thing that stays within I fought against myself, but I couldn't win Loving you from afar is all I have within Every step I take, I feel you near But what binds us is also what brings me fear I decided to leave even though I longed to stay I carry a love in my heart that won't fade away As time cruelly tears us apart I love you so much, I leave with a broken heart Our plans are now just dust in the breeze Broken promises echo, refusing to cease Your gaze still lives in my late-night dreams And even lost, it's you who guides me, it seems I fought to stay, but the pain was too great Your love still shines, but it also seals my fate Now I carry a wound that will never heal A goodbye that bleeds but refuses to conceal I decided to leave even though I longed to stay I carry a love in my heart that won't fade away As time cruelly tears us apart I love you so much, I leave with a broken heart But it's too late to resist or pretend To love is also knowing when it must end
