Lost love lives in hanging thoughts Forgotten forget me nots Sentences you left to rot 'Cause you'd sound paranoid It's in the plans you made for June Canceled in May when she left you Tickets torn 'neath an empty moon Lost to the void Your sacred truth Is drying out on the roof In the cracked rosette that told your last good news I been left for dead Trampled in my bed Watched my last hope float off on a stray balloon If the world outside Don't come as advertised I'm still humming the melody to your favorite tune If you need a thing How could I not be there for you? Lost love lives in looking back On all the things you could've had Sharing kids and dreams and funny fads Growing old growing gray It's in the checks you waited to cash 'Til at the bank they bounced to the last Stuck you standing there with paper slips Stamped void on your name It may be gone But a voice lingers on That's chasing you through every empty room I been down so low The canyons felt like home I still wince when I wake to see you're not around If it gets you down Should the jewels fall from your crown If you wince when it feels like it felt when I came 'round If you need a thing How could I not be there for you? On the bed of a former crush 'neath a canopy of almost was Waits for sleep that never comes As it dreams of a home Lost love lives in letting go And making peace with wounds that grow And grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow Oh the knife ran deep I still feel it in my sleep Like a hole in the shape of a girl I used to know You can call it growing But we're all just losing bones And you feel 'em when you wonder where they go If you need a thing How could I not be there for you? There for you
