Anniversary

Tonight the quiet’s screaming
Louder than these scars.
I’m still crawling through the things
I wish I said,
For what it’s worth I’m bleeding black,
I’m back to where you left me
To count my blessings
Wishing I could laugh again
And have a chance
To tell you just how much you meant.
I’ve found myself stuck in a corner
With your arm over my shoulders
As the sunshine burns my eyes
And as a storm’s marching inside
For an anniversary has never been
This sad before, I’m screaming

On and on,
I’m still trying to find the words,
Trying to tell you that I’ve had enough,
So, come back
‘Cause I feel so cold,
And all of the songs
I know do match this pain,
These wounds I didn’t choose to bear.
You know,
You’re still my world.

I’ve bled the words you’ve sung
And I’m out of teardrops,
Wishing I could close my eyes
And lay beside
The rest of your unspoken life,
And lights keep falling,
Memories hurt,
Falls keep shining
As I toss and turn
In brown leaves, ashes,
Blood, I need
Only another fleeting second
And this anniversary
May never be this good again
Though I’m screaming

On and on,
I’m still trying to find the words,
Trying to tell you that I’ve had enough,
So, come back
‘Cause I feel so cold,
And all of the songs
I know do match this pain,
These wounds I didn’t choose to bear.
You know,
You’re still my world.

And it’s raining down on me
As I’m realizing that you’re gone.
I gave the best of me
And yet you deserved so much more.
I can’t get over it,
I can’t pretend I’m just that strong
‘Cause since you left I’m dead too.
Since you left I’m dead.

On and on,
I’m still trying to find the words,
Trying to tell you that I’ve had enough
So, come back
‘Cause I feel so cold,
You know, every song I know
Fits perfectly,
And these sorry eyes
Can’t feel the bliss
But I know
You’re still here.
