Ill Get By

I need to resist
All this time I don’t have
The seconds persist
Louder and louder they become

Time surrounds me
And I hold my breath
Watching you go blindly
I build my graveyard of tears

As your leaving, leaving me
Leaving, leaving me
Leaving, leaving me
But I’ll get by

Come into me now
See yourself in me, see who you are
Then somehow allow
Me into you

Save your sorrow
Then please save mine
Now is your chance to follow
Your heart that I hold in my hand

Now I’m leaving, leaving you
Leaving, leaving you
Leaving, leaving you
But You’ll get by

I pretend all is well
Sit in my blissful ignorance
Remembering your stare,
your voice, your smell

And now that I am gone,
I hope you pretend too

The silence embraces everything
The echo of your heart so far
Remembering my lips,
My eyes, my smile

You are free

As your leaving, leaving me
And I’m leaving, leaving you
And we’re leaving, leaving us
But we’ll get by
