I was small, you were a giant then
We were wild, running through the violet wind
I didn't know that time was a thief in the night
Stealing the color from your muzzle, stealing the light
I grew above, and you grew slow
Watching the seasons come, watching them go
I didn't know how to speak the language of loss
I just knew I’d pay whatever the cost.

But the gravity shifted, the earth started shaking
I saw your legs trembling, I saw my heart breaking
On the floor of the livingroom, I gathered you near
Told you secrets that only we’d hear.

And you took your last breath right here in my hands
And I felt the collapse of my internal lands
It was heavy, so heavy, the silence that fell
A personal heaven turned private hell
So I lock up the gate, and I swallow the key
‘Cause I can’t let another one do this to me
No, I won’t let another one do this to me.

Now I’m older, living in a sterile space
I turn my head when I see a similar face
They say I’m cold, that I should just start again
But they don’t understand the psychology of the pain
It’s a trauma response, it’s a shield on my chest
I can’t invite a new ghost to be my guest
Because love is a debt that I cannot afford
When the memory of you is the only reward.

Yeah, the gravity shifted, the earth is still shaking
I’m still a teenager, I’m still sitting there aching
On the floor of the livingroom, holding the weight
Begging the universe to change your fate.

‘Cause you took your last breath right here in my hands
And I felt the collapse of my internal lands
It was heavy, so heavy, the silence that fell
A personal heaven turned private hell
So I lock up the gate, and I swallow the key
‘Cause I can’t let another one do this to me
No, I won’t let another one do this to me.

I am terrified of the goodbye!
I am terrified to watch something die!
I have too much love, but it’s frozen in ice
I paid with my childhood, I paid the full price
I can’t do it over, I can’t watch the fade
I’m living inside of the shelter I made!

‘Cause you took your last breath right here in my hands...
And I felt the collapse of my internal lands
It was heavy, so heavy...
So I lock up the gate, and I swallow the key
‘Cause I can’t let another one do this to me.

I won’t risk the fall.
I won’t risk it at all.
Just you.
It’s always just you.
