You're Still Here Lyrics

Perhaps you would think that I cannot mourn for you

Given the time we spent apart

Maybe I shouldn't have returned

But dreams are hard to ignore, although I hate them

But what I learned still hurt my heart

For though I lost you and spurned you

You were once real, and you were

And who you seemed to be, you were

And while you'll never, ever be again

You're still here

And how I feel can't alter

And what I deemed did not matter

And though you'll never, ever speak again

You're still near

It's been ten years, but for you it's been twelve, I know

Since you exited our domain

And I've long dried every last tear

But that doesn't mean that I still think you're a foe

Indeed, I wish you had remained

I don't miss us, but you, dearly

You were once real, and you were

And who you seemed to be, you were

And while you'll never, ever be again

You're still here

And how I feel can't alter

And what I deemed did not matter

And though you'll never, ever speak again

You're still near

Even if you were still alive, we would not be

We would not be anything now

Even if you wanted me back

Our time had come and gone, and that was fine by me

But even so, I wonder how

You left and you're not coming back

You were once real, and you were

And who you seemed to be, you were

And while you'll never, ever be again

You're still here

And how I feel can't alter

And what I deemed did not matter

And though you'll never, ever speak again

You're still near

You were once real, and you were

Just who you seemed to be, and though

I know you'll never, ever live again

You're still here
