Your voice inside my head,
Is fading every year,
like the ink inside my skin,
I hardly notice it anymore.
But I remember that night so clearly,
out past our old place and onto the hill,
we said what we had to say and then we sat so still,
I could feel my heartbeat speeding up,
the glow of the dashboard was burning in our eyes,
The last thing you said,
Still keeps me up at night,
As you put out your cigarette,
you turned and said goodbye.
When it's all been so long,
When it's all been so long,
I really should say so long,
I'm tired of this place and I wanna go home,
You left your carvings in the corners of my brain,
Unable to escape this constant habit and the feeling that somethings not quite right here,
And I'm stuck in this loop with you.
Your voice inside my head,
Gets weaker every year,
Like a flame that we once lit,
and now it's struggling,
it's struggling for air.
It's struggling for air.
Your voice inside my head,
Is finding every year,
And I don't mind.
