I spent a whole year sleeping; dreaming
Woke up shaking, screaming; crying
I spent my whole life dying

The moment I knew
I loved you
Was fallowed by the moment in which you said
We could never see each other again

I stopped reaching for something real
Cause happiness is just something you feel
I heard a silent reply
When I said I loved you that night

You’re always reaching for what you can’t grab
I’m learning how to be happy with what I have.

I’d sell my soul for a reason to live
But no one will buy what you’re willing to give
I heard a silent reply
When I said I loved you that night

I love you for all the ways you’re like me, but you hate yourself
So I’d be better off if I was just anybody else

It was a cold night for me
You wore my sweatshirt and drew, as I sang
I heard a silent reply
I said I loved you, but it felt like good bye.
