Consolation


Please don't leave me,
I can't stand here on my own
And I've stopped breathing
Since I put down the telephone
My hands are shaking,
I've never felt so scared and all alone
This room is vacant
Feel the cold air fill my bones

And they said that you'd get better
And now you're better off
It's not what I wanted,
But it's all I got

Looking down upon this stranger,
It's not the way I'd like to remember you
They gather round to keep me warm,
They say everything's cold in December
I'll hold it in, and try to pretend,
That you'll be home any day
But deep inside, I try but I can't hide the fact
That you're not coming back, never coming back,
Please come back to me

And they said you'd get better,
But now you're gone
You're all that I wanted
What did I do wrong
But I can't bring you back

Don't look down on me
It's not as bad as you might think
And though I wanna scream
I'll just hold it in, until I bleed
Cos' we live inside these boundaries
Held high and all around us
And they separate Separate you from me
And I can't wait til one day they crumble away
Cos' there's so much I've wanted to say

I love you,
Just wait a while,
I miss you,
Just wait

But if He'd care, while you're up there, just tell Him I'd do anything
Just for a night, my consolation prize, somehow come back to me

And they said you'd get better
Aren't you better off?
Cos' you're with the angels,
And I tread among the lost
But there's no consolation

I can't see you,
But I know you're there,
I feel you in the air feel you everywhere,
I feel your breath upon my neck,
And I scream outloud when I go to bed
And I can't even sleep, and I can't even breathe,
And I can't even think, but I'll see you in my dreams
