When it feels you're not on my side
It's like I might as well have died
Years before you opened your eyes
Oh darling for the first time
I would wait, torn up by a want
For someone I could only haunt
Days into decades crawl by
While I am watching your life
You couldn't want a kiss
From someone you don't know to miss
So I keep my phantom limbs far
From wherever you are
Can't know if you'll be left between
Here and there from what I have seen
Cursed to wish joy for your heart
Though it may keep us apart
If you crossed to the other side
Not to have known I had lived or died
I'd still say my fortune was clear
So lucky to have loved you while you're here
