Shortest Day Lyrics

I am scared of the space you make in my mind

Of the black hole a star leaves behind

You have pushed the darkness far away

But I can't need you, I can't need you to stay

Cause one day you might shine in other skies

And I will have to learn to turn the light on

With supernovas burning up behind my eyes

Well, my world will still be brighter

Even when you're gone, you're making me stronger

With the strength that I grew when you were here

It was mine all along, but no longer

Will it falter in face of fear

On the shortest day of the year

And that's thanks to you, my dear

I am scared of the space you make in my bed

I never noticed it before it held your head

You have made my waking up so warm

But I can't need you to set my alarm

Cause one day you might find another pillow

And I will have to fall asleep alone

Maybe you won't want to, but you'll go, you will, you will go

Well, my world will still be brighter

Even when you're gone, you're making me stronger

With the strength that I grew when you were here

It was mine all along, but no longer

Will it falter in face of fear

On the shortest day of the year

And that's thanks to you, that's thanks to you, my dear

My dear

My dear
