If I wince hard enough
I can recall what you look like
If I try very hard
I can pretend like you’re still here

But it’s hard to hear
How things aren’t going so great
And it’s hard because I
Desperately can relate
Everything is parallel
To the way I’m feeling without you
And it’s hard because I long
To be closer to you

If I scream loud enough
Will you hear me all the way over there?
If I try a little harder
Maybe someday will be sooner than later

But it’s hard to know
Those things aren’t going as planned
And it’s so damn easy
For everything to get out of hand
You’ve got a life that you live
And I’ve got mine that you left
And it’s hard to know
These words might be my last

I’ll just pray that you
Make it another day
Find something to hang onto
And everything can be okay

But it’s hard to show
If I can’t even make it on my own
Without you here…
Life just sometimes seems pointless
