[Verse]
CWhen you left me, I was inside
Of my head for a Gyear
CAll the memories that were broken
Deeply buried GthereAm  
Was my heart lost Fin the chaos?
GNever to be found
[Verse]
CWhen you left me I got older
I had all but Gdied
CI was weak and out of breath, I
Could not read at GnightAm  
How you kissed me, Fburned into my Gskin
AmEvery moment Fworlds were crumbling Gin
[Verse]
CI can still hear every whisper
I can taste your Glips
CJust your heartbeat and I quiver
I can picture GthisAm  
All the colours Fbleeding from the Gpage
AmJust like water Fpouring down my Gface
[Verse]
CWhen you left me nothing mattered
All my life unGdone
COnly stillness only quiet
Not one ray of  -  Gsun
[Outro]
CWhen you left me
CWhen you left me
