Whenever I Am Gone

Whenever I am gone
You secretly reach out
For the one you never got to have
For the one you still dream about

And it strikes me as lightning
It tears me up in peaces
And it’s written all over your face
And you think that I’m not seeing

And though I’m just a pale reflection of
The one you constantly think about
The one you long to have
I don’t think that I’ve deserved to be left out like that
To get hid and to be forgotten whenever I am gone

Whenever I am gone
I can barely find a reason
Why I should keep coming back
If I mostly end up bleeding
