That Part of You Lyrics

I don't want that part of you that lingers when you're gone


Telling me that you're still here while I get by alone

Don't you be that part of me that won't accept goodbye


Oh, I've been down that road before and it led me to these lies

I dipped my toes into that lake and prayed for you my soul to take


And a thousand times I watched you close your eyes


And so many times I kissed your hands in mine

Then you left me empty in your wake


Filled with sorrows I can't shake

Clinging to this hopeless thin disguise

Let me be myself again free of any cares

Killing time by spending mine with feelings I can bear

I found myself long before my path brought me to you

But looking back I can only grasp a picture of us two

It's clear as day but I can't say it's what I need from you


But maybe it ain't up to me to choose

I dove head-first into that lake

I gave up on what I can't fake

Then a thousand times you opened up your eyes

And so many times I conjured up your smile

You filled that empty space inside

Cared for wounds I couldn't hide


And showed me everything would be alright

Now I just want that part of you that lingers when you're gone

Telling me that you're still here, so I'll never be alone
