falling away

Four walls and Hollywood hills

Prescription dreams and windowsills

I write your name in evening light

Delete the text, I'll never write these

Empty sheets still smell like you

Or maybe that's just wishful gloom

Dancing with your memory

In this room where we used to be

3 a.m., I'm calling, calling

But you're already falling, falling

Away, away, away from me

Like a ghost I'll never see

Your coffee cup still holds its place

Like you might come and fill this space

I keep the curtains drawn at night

So stars can't see me lose this fight

The silence screams your absence now

While I forget the way somehow

They say it's better to have loved than never loved at all

But they don't see me on my floor back against the wall

Playing back your voicemails just to hear you breathe at all

I'm dancing alone in my bedroom

To the song that played when you left too soon

3 a.m., and I'm still here pretending that you might appear

But loving you's like loving ghosts

And I'm the one who haunts this most
