I'm Not Here Lyrics

How can I go on without you

I tried my best

Not to doubt you

I guess it was all in vain

Shadows show beneath the sunlight

And pretty birds begin a long flight to happy times

Where they can change

But it's all over now

And I'm not here

I fought so hard to stay

But it's all clear

I was dancing

Around expectations and avoiding my evaluations

I couldn't sleep so I woke up

I tried to fly but I couldn't cut it

I tried to sing

But it wasn't worth it and I suffer for it

Every day

But it's all over now

And I'm not here

I fought so hard to stay

But it's all clear

That you deserved a better home

And a better life too

I guess I'm talking to myself

It seems so hard to talk to you

And now that I can face the sunset

I'll find a way to make it happen

I'll find a way to make it to next year

And those pretty birds and evaluations

They all melt down

Emancipations and proclamations

I'm free to go

But it's all over now

And I'm not here

I fought so hard to stay

Maybe next year

I'll leave you for a better man

And a better person too

I guess I shouldn't say such things

But there is nothing else to do

So it's all over now

My conscience clear

And at the end of the day

I'm not here
