I know that I have lost you now
I know that I can't make things right
I see your eyes are begging me
To stop putting up a fight
I can't stop looking at the floor
While these pictures are floating around
I know you're moving forward but
I'm still back here buried in the ground

I drove all night, outside to find you
In the cold, and pouring rain
I just needed to know you're alive
I just needed to know you're there
And I know you're so far away
But I am right outside your window
I just needed to know you're alive
I just needed to know you're there
I know you're there

I heard you talking in your sleep
You spoke words that I could not quite make out
I tried to listen carefully
Lying motionless not making a sound
The cold had crept into the sheets
I could tell that you did not want to stay
I tried to just roll over
And pretend that everything was okay

But I don't care anymore
I just want you, my darling
With arms so tight, you'll break my ribs
I just want you, my darling

I drove all night, outside to find you
In the cold, and pouring rain
I just needed to know you're alive
I just needed to know you're there
And I know you're so far away
But I am right outside your window
I just needed to know you're alive
I just needed to know you're there, but you're not there

But I don't care anymore
I just want you, my darling
With arms so tight, you'll break my ribs
I just want you, my darling
