I’ve never been this afraid   My love is gone and far away   I’ve never made this mistake before   I’ve given nothing away      I’ve never been this frightened   I’m caught in a catch-phrase about love and why to   send it away to see if it stays   to prove it’s truth, it proves I know nothing   of love or loss or the logical end of predictable events   you count on things as absolutes      And then you turn around and it’s been removed   pushed from your life by your own doing      The empty hole is a sore and unfillable       Not because of it’s depth but because it is void of you    I’ve never been this afraid   I want to take it back and   keep us safe from distance and space   but it’s late to point the past things missed      I’ve never been anxious like this   My head itches from the hole that exists   Dug deeper by corroding grooves   from questions like, what do I do?      I’ve never been this afraid of my own mistake    What was one has turned to five   The months added up only to divide   I can’t help thinking about time and life      And how time apart can dull the bright   And how everything ends and everyone dies   and how everyone good looks to the sky   For a reason to be alive       I’ve never been this afraid   I’ve never been this afraid
