This is a song for the night I learned your name. 
I’d seen your face before but now I don’t see it the same 
Now I know love is a backhanded stroke to my cheek
A hand held like a gun feels just as real to me

This is a song for the night you disappeared
I saw your bags by the door packed full with my fears
Night is a palm pulled down over my eyes
When I move my hand you were nowhere in my sight

After all that we’re strangers again

You’re in the hands of the ghosts
A fold in time where no one goes
Night turns into day turns into night
Seamlessly stealing winters light
Seamlessly stealing winters light

That pale day
You turned at the door and I say
You’ve ruined me for beautiful things
I am a fool that way

You warned me 
You tried by avoiding me
I am stubborn this much I know
Here in the silence I’ll learn to grow

I’ll learn to grow
