Proof of Life

You've always felt like a spectre to me,

You came, I saw you, now you're fleeting

I wish I could keep you with me forever

But instead you're free-roaming

You're so unreal, it's mystical

I wish I had something, anything at all,

Some part of you I can keep when you leave,

Some proof of life of my love, my everything

My everything

I want proof of us, what we were and what we have,

And how it's so special, how it's irreplaceable

You're always here with me in my heart,

And I don't think that ever will change,

But what if it does?

What if all I'm left with is faded memories,

Losing your voice in a sea of dissonance,

So that's why I need something, anything at all,

Some piece of you I can hold when you're gone,

Some proof of life so that I can carry on

I need to carry on

I want proof so even when you're gone

I can hope to feel something, anything at all,

Even just a glimmer of what we had

Oh, but you're so unreal, intangible

I'm reaching for something to hold when I fall

Some part of you, so when you depart

I'll have proof of life of you, the one who changed my heart

The one who changed my heart
