lyrics

I promised you a love song, well, here it is.
You left me bent and broken
and longing for your kiss.
But now you’ve said goodbye
and you’ve dealt your last lie.
it’s time to put your cards on the table
say “I love you” for the last time.

Where were you? Where was I?
When were we together?
I’m holding on, you’re letting go
Leaving me six feet below.

As you fly away across the sea,
I hoped you’d not leave some kind of hidden trace
that would lead you back to me.
To be the only thing that I can think of when I’m alone
means you left a trace.
It was a footprint through my heart.
