I found the pieces in my hand
It just took some time for me to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
I'll just hold on while you drift away
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive
Where you are, "I'll" never know
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
I've seen the ashes in my heart
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you put me in my place
But everything you wanted from me
Is everything that I could never be
Where you are, "I'll" never know
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
Cause everything you wanted me to hide
Is everything that makes me feel alive
Where you are, "I'll" never know
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
The lights go out, the bridges burn
Once you're gone, you can't return
Remember how you used to say I'd be the one to run away
