the sound of letting you go

Singer:betraying the martyrs

it tears me deep when i close my eyes

to think that you're no longer here

can't you tell i'm no longer breathing?

can't you tell

can't you see i'm drowning in fear?

i'm in the deep

deep in denial

don't tell me you're no longer here

i know your flame was no longer burning

but it always burns for me

this is the sound of letting you go!

your final days just stole

they took your life too soon

they took the brightest soul

those breaths you should have took

those words you could have spoken

injustice!

the impact broke our hearts

leaving us all so speechless

how could this fucking be?

a night so long and sleepless

injustice!

i'm left with no goodbye

i guess we're letting you go

it tears me deep when i close my eyes

to think that you're no longer here

can't you tell i'm no longer breathing?

can't you tell

can't you see i'm drowning in fear?

i'm in the deep

deep in denial

don't tell me you're no longer here

i know your flame was no longer burning

but it always burns for me

when the lights went out

and your heartbeat stopped

we've never felt such pain

only memories remain

but we will never

ever forget

no!

this is the sound of letting you go

when the wheels overturned

my god how it hurts

so long

it tears me deep when i close my eyes

to think that you're no longer here

can't you tell i'm no longer breathing?

can't you tell

can't you see i'm drowning in fear?

i'm in the deep

deep in denial

don't tell me you're no longer here

i know your flame was no longer burning

but it always burns for me

it tears me deep when i close my eyes

i realize you are not here

it still hurts when i try to breathe

some things will never disappear

i'll always be deep in denial

i'll always feel like you're still here

your flame won't stop burning

it burns forever in our dreams
