CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

I kept your name inside my lungs Like smoke that never left my blood Every road I tried to run Still led me back to us I saw your shadow in the hallway light Heard your voice in the dead of night And every stranger passing by Had your eyes for just one second I tried to bury all the memories But they were written underneath my skin Now every song sounds incomplete Like a heartbeat learning how to quit And I still talk to the ceiling Like somehow you’re listening Every word gets heavier now Heavier now Can you hear me now? I’m screaming through the silence Every broken piece of me Still fights your ghost in private Can you hear me now? My chest is burning open I held the ocean in my hands But watched it disappear again CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! I wore your jacket through the winter cold Pretending I was not alone But empty rooms can turn your soul Into an echo nobody knows And all the friends say time will heal But time just taught me how to hide So I keep smiling in the daylight Then fall apart when stars arrive And every night gets louder Your memory gets closer I can feel my voice give out Give out now Can you hear me now? I’m screaming through the silence Every shattered part of me Still dies for you in private Can you hear me now? My veins are overflowing I built a world around your love Then watched the whole thing burn to dust CAN YOU HEAR ME NOOOOOOW?! If I vanish in the dark… Would you finally notice? If my voice became the storm… Would you finally hear it? I GAVE YOU EVERY PART OF ME EVERY SCAR EVERY DREAM EVERYTHING I COULD NOT SAVE AND NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT BUT THIS— CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! I’M BREAKING THROUGH THE CEILING EVERY WOUND I TRIED TO HIDE BECAME ANOTHER REASON CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! THE SKY IS FALLING WITH ME IF LOVE WAS MEANT TO LAST WHY AM I STILL BLEEDING?! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?! I kept your name inside my lungs… Now there’s nothing left to breathe…
