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
