Where You End

Exiles of Eden

I know the shape of your silence
Before you even leave
You pull away so slowly
I don't know when to grieve

You're lying right beside me
But somewhere I can't get in
I keep moving closer
To where you've already been

And I don't know what hurts worse
The distance or the truth
Where you end
I keep beginning
I tear myself apart
Just to keep you in it

Where you end
I lose the line
Between what you took
And what was ever mine
If letting you go
Means losing me too
Then I don't know
Where I end without you

I've been sleeping facing
The empty half of us
Like maybe if I don't turn
Nothing changes quite enough

I still know your footsteps
Before they reach the hall
Funny how I hear them
When you're not here at all

Maybe that's what haunts me
You never had to run
You just stopped being someone
I could reach
And you were gone

Where you end
I keep beginning
I tear myself apart
Just to keep you in it

Where you end
I lose the line
Between what you took
And what was ever mine
If letting you go
Means losing me too
Then I don't know
Where I end without you

Maybe that's the worst part
You didn't have to die
You just became somebody
Who could look me in the eyes
And leave me here alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive

Where you end
I keep beginning
I tear myself apart
Just to keep you in it

Where you end
I lose the line
Between what you took
And what was ever mine
If letting you go
Means losing me too
Then I don't know
I don't know
Where I end without you

You ended
I didn't
That's the problem
