That Part of You

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
