Staring at the still-frames I had taken long ago,
Transfixed upon the face that to me is your ghost.
Now I’m making excuses to everyone, just wanting to be alone..
Realising just how much the space between us has grown.

Aware of the tears falling to the ground,
I dream that your true senses will be found.
You’ve grown away from me, it’s something I cannot control..
The space in your heart where I was, now there’s just a hole.

We were inseperable, I used to always make you giggle..
But the confidence I had around you began to fizzle.
I feel like I can’t be myself around you anymore,
We used to be so open but now you’ve closed the door.

Now all that’s left is for me to cry at your memory,
You are never with me by choice, don’t you see?
We’ve lost contact now, a bond that cannot be sealed..
I can’t say anything, I’m too scared for it to be revealed.

I love you as much as I did when we were little,
I remember being so happy with you, when everything was simple.
Now I don’t even seem to know you like I did,
I wanna be like you again, but what you are - I forbid.

So I’m just sitting here crying, staring at what was..
But you will never know what I keep inside because
I know that things will never be the same.
I don’t know if I’ll ever know who’s to blame.

Perhaps I’m just too different to you now.
But I can still remember,
And I can still long,
And I still like to be needed..
And I can still feel like
I want the old you – ‘us’ - back.
