If I could wrap my hand around,
why you won't hear me now,
you tend to break my heart.

Keep my eyes close long enough,
or maybe just wake up without a soul so fall apart

Every time I pick you up, you find the way to fall
don't you know a conversation doesn't mean ignore me.

Like a father leaving as a ghost,
and like a lover leaving when you need it most
And like a son you love, but can't quite reach anymore.

If I could figure out what you want from me,
I'm always open, and you can count on me.
Give you room to breath in hope, that part of you that's so cold, we melted, we can be friends again.

Every time I feel I'm getting closer, things get worse,
But I know how the story goes because you're not the first.

Like a father leaving as a ghost,
and like a lover leaving when you need it most
And like a son you love, but can't quite reach anymore.

And even though you think that you don't need me,and don't miss me, I know everything you should know.
Like a daughter, I pray,
Like a lover, I wait,
Like a mother I'll be here when you fall.
