Less Gone Lyrics

I know at times I'm chasing a leaf

That's blowing randomly in the wind

But I need to do that spiritually

To stay as stable as I can

You never completely leave my mind

And you've left your imprint on my soul

But I take your pictures out late at night

When really need to be close to you

I still keep your shirt in my closet

Where I hope it can infuse you into mine

I take your glasses out a lot

Hoping to see what my heart needs to find

A part of life is accepting loss

And finding ways to keep moving on

I know nothing I can do will bring you back

But sometimes I need you less gone

I take out the cards you sent me

And I reread all your kind words

And it's like taking a walk with your memory

On a pathway to where you are

I listen to the sounds of your voice

Which I keep stored on my phone

And reliving those moments we both enjoyed

Helps make me feel less alone

I still keep your shirt in my closet

Where I hope it can infuse you into mine

I take your glasses out a lot

Hoping to see what my heart needs to find

A part of life is accepting loss

And finding ways to keep moving on

I know nothing I can do will bring you back

But sometimes I need you less gone

Nothing I can do makes this feel right

But I can help make it feel less wrong

I accept I can't have you again by my side

But at times I need to feel you less gone

I still keep your shirt in my closet

Where I hope it can infuse you into mine

I take your glasses out a lot

Hoping to see what my heart needs to find

A part of life is accepting loss

And finding ways to keep moving on

I know nothing I can do will bring you back

But sometimes I need you less gone
