how long have i been gone?

the coroner tallies
marking out all the fallacies
and i dont know how you fall for these
red lips hard to read

we dream as if we live forever
as if tomorrow is promised
as if thats the way it was meant
never realizing what we could miss

i spent the day in bed
imagining how it felt
how when i looked into your eyes
my heart would melt

but that means nothing now
because youre not here
and i would sing to you
through the sorrow youll never hear

last words from our last fight
and how what i said now can never be taken back
im sorry
pouring through the strength that i lack
