It's been so long I have kept

The memory of you within my chest
I'm holding on

How I can't breathe

Where have you gone
So far from me

In this moment

(I can't fight it, no, I can't fight it)
F#m
Now I can't sleep, can't dream
Wake up screaming

Desperate, empty
Are you listening

Alone at night
E
Is when it hurts the most
Living with your ghost
