Sometimes the hole you left hurts
My heart so bad, it cuts through
The deepest parts of me and fills up my mouth with the words that cry
Out, I’m still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Every now and then my memories ache
With empty ideas of the ones we’d have made it
But as time goes on and my age gets older
I love the ones I know, they’re enough to picture the rest
‘Cause heart break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
You know when to make me, imagine you’re here
You know when to make me, imagine you’re here
You know when to make me, imagine you’re here
You know when to make me, imagine you’re here
