Description
i don’t drive down that road no more
where the water cuts through stone
i can’t stand where we used to stand
i can’t face it on my own
two shadows in the summer light
still burned into my mind
now the silence follows everywhere
there’s nowhere i can hide
and nobody saw the darkness underneath
not even me, not even me…
now the river still knows your names
even if i stay away
i keep calling through the silence
but there’s nothing left to say
two lives gone in a heartbeat’s span
in a way i can’t explain
i’m still holding onto ashes
and the river holds your names
you laughed like nothing could touch you
like the world was on your side
and he was right there laughing with you
turning everything sideways
we fought like storms that never ended
said things we didn’t mean
but underneath the noise between us
you were still my everything
and i replay every second in my mind
looking for a different ending…
now the river still knows your names
even if i stay away
i keep calling through the silence
but there’s nothing left to say
two lives gone in a heartbeat’s span
in a way i can’t explain
i’m still holding onto ashes
and the river holds your names
i fall asleep beside your stone
with the cold against my skin
it’s the only place the noise goes quiet
and i can almost feel you again
i talk to you like you can hear me
like you never really left
and i stay there ‘til the morning comes
with your name inside my chest
i know he’s out there somewhere else now
not a place that i can see
but i hope somehow you found each other
and you’re not alone like me
i find pieces on the roadside
little things i can’t explain
like you’re leaving me a trail to follow
so i don’t feel so far away
coins and trinkets in my pocket
like a message i can hold
i tell myself you placed them there
so i’m not out here on my own
i sit alone inside these walls
just trying to feel okay
some days i barely make it through
some days i just fade away
i’m angry and i’m breaking
i don’t recognize my face
i’m stuck inside this endless moment
i don’t know how to escape
there are nights i don’t want to be here
but i’m still here anyway
holding onto anything
that keeps me here another day
i should’ve stayed
i should’ve known
i should’ve seen
you weren’t okay…
now the river still knows your names
and it’s breaking me in two
i keep carrying your memory
in everything i do
two souls gone but not erased
i feel you in the rain
you’re the echo i can’t outrun
when i hear your names
i don’t go there anymore…
but i still feel you the same…
somewhere in that water…
it still knows your names
