In the Shape of Your Name

You’d be so proud of me
If you knew what I’ve done

You’d tell me you believed in me
If you weren’t gone

You’d ask what took me so long
Maybe whispered in my ear

You’d be happy for me and with me
If only you were here

I finally did it, I found the courage
To reach out for my dreams

But without you, it’s so lonely,
So shallow, it seems

I miss you so much, my love,
I feel so alone

Sitting here wondering
Where it all went wrong

My heart has a hole in the shape of your name

I’m in the twilight now,
Before my personal sunrise

Staring at the sun, blinking
Tears back from my eyes

I don’t know where you are now,
Who holds you tight

I can only stare wondering
Into the eastern night

I hope they love you, make you happy,
Appreciate all you give

Please don’t worry for me, my love,
For I will live

Without you; I’ll move forward, keep walking,
I’ll somehow survive

With a little luck and faith in my dreams,
maybe even thrive

My heart has a hole in the shape of your name

I know that, accept it, take it, hold it,
This unwanted pain

For it is all I have of you as I hope
We’ll find each other again

Even if we don’t, my love,
Please just know

I want the best for you,
Wherever you go

And I’m sorry I wasn’t better to you
You deserved so much more

Than my hurricane life
Throwing rocks on your shore

Be happy, my love, be free,
Give voice to your inner child

And know I’d burn down the world
Just to see your smile

I’d burn down the world
Just to see your smile

I’d burn down the world
Just to see your smile

My heart has a hole in the shape of your name

For Beauty
