Vessels

You were my missing piece

You filled up all the holes in me

But now the wounds reopen so I need someone to close them, please?

You never felt real to me

And finding home was a fantasy

You gave me something to believe in, and someone to rely on

So please when you leave, if you could leave the light on

'Cause I've got no more songs to sing to you

If fireflies fill your skies

And the sands of time shall someday erode the moon

That once lead me back to you

When our songs get lost in time

And the world no longer puts your hand in mine

And our vessels lie empty, a thought that used to scare me

I think of who we could be in our new lives

'Cause we are more than real

And this life hasn't just been a lie

Everything you've taught me will live in the safe of my heart

For when we restart

I'm sorry if all you've seen in me

Is just a shadow of your ghost

But we are endless

And in every life I know I've loved you the most
