You were the teacher, I was the ghost,
Learning to love what I needed the most.
You gave me a sound, you gave me a choice,
You taught me the power of using my voice.

And you said:
"Don’t worry about anything, Don't let anything bother you  
Every negative thought, get it outta you."
Yeah, you told me that the future is bright,
Even when I’m standing in the middle of the night.
Get it outta you, get it outta you...
I miss your words, I miss the glow,
But I miss you most, more than you’ll know.

It’s a heavy weight, the "fault is my own,"
To be back in the silence, back on my throne.
Of memories and messages I can’t send again,
Back to the start where we’re strangers again.
But I still hear the music in the way that I speak,
You gave me the strength when the spirit was weak.
I’m humming the melody you left in my heart,
Even though we are a thousand worlds apart.

Strangers to friends, then a little bit more,
Then back to the strangers we were before.
One black crow, one final goodbye,
But I’m keeping the light that you put in my sky!

Yeah, you said:
"Don’t worry sbout anything, Don't let anything bother you,
Every negative thought, get it out of you."
Yeah, you told me that the future is bright,
Even when I’m standing in the middle of the night.
Get it outta you, get it outta you...
I miss your words, I miss the glow,
But I miss you most...
Yeah, I miss you most of all.

The future is bright… that’s what you said,
I’m trying to get the shadows out of my head.
One black crow on a headstone of gray,
I still see that picture every single day.

We’re strangers again, yeah, we’re back to the start,
But I’m keeping the fire you lit in my heart.
It was my fault, yeah, I’ll own the mistake,
But I’ll keep every promise you asked me to make.

You taught me to speak… (I’m using my voice)
You taught me to breathe… (I’m making the choice)
To not let it bother me, not let it stay,
To wash every negative feeling away.

Every negative thought… get it outta you.
Every negative thought… get it outta you.
Just like that crow, I’m taking to flight,
Because you told me… the future is bright.
The future is bright.
(I saw your name)
The future is bright.
(Nothing’s the same)
Get it outta you...
(Strangers again…)
(Strangers again…)

I saw your name in the scroll, in the glow of the screen The strangest coincidence I’d ever seen. Again and again, like a sign in the code, The universe pointing me down to your road. So I sent that message, a digital spark, Just telling you I liked that bird in the dark. I said I loved the crow on that headstone of stone, The start of a story I’ve never outgrown. You were the teacher, I was the ghost, Learning to love what I needed the most. You gave me a sound, you gave me a choice, You taught me the power of using my voice.

I miss your words, I miss the glow, But I miss you most, more than you’ll know. It’s a heavy weight, the "fault is my own," To be back in the silence, back on my throne.
