The Revelator - As Soon as I Read Your Letter

Lost love lives in hanging thoughts
Forgotten forget me nots
Sentences you left to rot
'Cause you'd sound paranoid
It's in the plans you made for June
Canceled in May when she left you
Tickets torn 'neath an empty moon
Lost to the void
Your sacred truth
Is drying out on the roof
In the cracked rosette that told your last good news
I been left for dead
Trampled in my bed
Watched my last hope float off on a stray balloon
If the world outside
Don't come as advertised
I'm still humming the melody to your favorite tune
If you need a thing
How could I not be there for you?
Lost love lives in looking back
On all the things you could've had
Sharing kids and dreams and funny fads
Growing old growing gray
It's in the checks you waited to cash
'Til at the bank they bounced to the last
Stuck you standing there with paper slips
Stamped void on your name
It may be gone
But a voice lingers on
That's chasing you through every empty room
I been down so low
The canyons felt like home
I still wince when I wake to see you're not around
If it gets you down
Should the jewels fall from your crown
If you wince when it feels like it felt when I came 'round
If you need a thing
How could I not be there for you?
On the bed of a former crush
'neath a canopy of almost was
Waits for sleep that never comes
As it dreams of a home
Lost love lives in letting go
And making peace with wounds that grow
And grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow
Oh the knife ran deep
I still feel it in my sleep
Like a hole in the shape of a girl I used to know
You can call it growing
But we're all just losing bones
And you feel 'em when you wonder where they go
If you need a thing
How could I not be there for you?
There for you
