Covert

I watch the walls where your shadow once stood, Traces of you burned into the wood. Every word we spoke now slips through my hands, Like sand in a storm, like a road unmanned. I reach for memories that don’t feel real, Scenes play back, but they don’t heal. You stand before me, but your eyes won’t meet, Like the weight of the past pulled you out of reach. You’ve changed, I can’t deny, But maybe I was blind the whole damn time. I swore you were drifting, leaving me cold, But was it me who let go (let go...) Let go I see you laughing, but the sound’s all wrong, Like a voice detached from where it belongs. I swore you were someone I used to know, But maybe I’m the stranger here alone. I dig through the wreckage of all we made, Looking for proof that you stayed the same. But every picture, every word, Feels like a story that I misheard. You’ve changed, I can’t deny, But maybe I was blind the whole damn time. I swore you were drifting, leaving me cold, But was it me who let go (let go...) Let me go Maybe I was too scared to see, That the cracks were forming inside of me. Maybe I blamed you just to survive, To hold onto something that wasn’t alive. I’ve changed, I can’t deny, I’m the one who let the light burn out. I swore you were drifting, leaving me cold, But was it me who lost the way? I watch the walls, where our voices once stayed, But I don’t know who, I was back in those days...... (Special thanks to Toku for the style tags used in this song)
