lyrics

The book I read consumed me.
I lived in every page.
It seemed like the story of myself.
I wanted it to never end
and when it did I cried
and reached for the next one on the shelf.

When you went away
I wanted you to stay.
Now that you’re gone
I’ve moved on.

The time we had was amazing.
I savoured every day
until somehow things just felt bereft.
You’re like September in Edinburgh,
so beautiful in the rain
but empty now the festival has left.

The things that you hold dearly
can soon become the chains
that tether you to things that make you sad
and if you’ve grown to love them
it’s going to hurt you more
but one day you’ll wake up and you’ll be glad.

When you went away
I wanted you to stay.
Now that you’re gone
I’ve moved on.
