Lights in the Sky

She's mostly gone,

some other place.

I'm getting by,

in other ways.



Everything they whispered in our ears,

is coming true.

Try to justify the things,

I used to do.

Believe in you.



Watching you drown.

I follow you down.

I am here,

right beside you.



The lights in the sky

finally arrive.

I am staying,

right beside you.



I tried to stay away,

just in case.

I've come to realize,

we all have our place.



Time, time has a way you know,

to make it clear.

I have my role in this.

I can't disappear,

or leave you here.



Watching you drown,

I'll follow you down,

and I am here right beside you.



The lights in the sky,

are waving goodbye.

I am staying right beside you.
