Your soul just went

---

Verse 1:

You sat by the window, saw the rain.

I stood there, still, wanting to move you.

Your gaze was wide, so empty, so silent,

as if you knew what would soon fade away.

Chorus:

And I held you tight, as tight as I could,

but your soul was already gone.

Tell me, why does love go when it stays?

Why does it hurt when it heals us?

Verse 2:

Your shadow still lies on the pillow,

I hear you whispering in the pillows.

No last kiss, no word to leave,

only this pain that remains.

Chorus:

And I held you tight, as tight as I could,

but your soul was already gone.

Tell me, why does love go when it stays?

Why does it hurt when it heals us?

Bridge:

I carry you within me, day after day,

even if I have no answer.

Maybe you were too light for here,

but a piece of you remains with me.

Chorus (quieter):

And I held you tight, as tight as I could,

but your soul was already gone.

Tell me, why does love go when it stays?

Why does it hurt when it heals us?
