Lights go dim, the room is still
But you're the ghost I always feel
I close my eyes, you're standing there
Fading like breath into the air
Your name I swore I'd let it go
But every night it whispers low
You're not just in my memory
You're the part still left in me
Three nights, three dreams of you
Every one, a déjà vu
I hold you close, you fade away
While I fall apart each day
Words I never got to say
Too heavy now, they drift astray
You’re a star in a sky I can’t reach
Gone before I knew how to speak
I breathe your name so silently
Afraid the sound would shatter me
Just one look back, that’s all I need
Even if it’s just make believe
Now I see it clear somehow
You were never lost, I let you down
And love that stays beyond goodbye
Still aches like truth inside a lie
Three nights, three versions of me
Trying to set your memory free
But if I could be born again
I’d love you right from the first time then
“I love you,” “I’m sorry,”
“Thank you,” and “goodbye”
All left behind
On that final night
If I forget, it hurts too much
So I hold your name
In my quiet touch
Three nights
