Reverie by Samantha Mae

I read the letter you wrote for me
To read once you were gone
And I can't say it made me understand
I feel you, let the time rewind
I hear you, only in my mind
I wish you didn't take what once was mine
You were in a daze
A dark unforgiving place
I would've saved you if I could
From it all

I've spent too many years
Chasing the ghost of you
And all I have to show is your old perfume
You said I'd be better off just because
It made it easier for you to go
Well just because you say it doesn't make it so
I hope you know

I look at old photographs
When you're smiling

But your eyes aren't singing the tune
But you wanna be, oh you beg to be
Happy just to seize the day
Desperate just to find a way
To leave it all so you can live it all
And stay

I've spent too many years
Chasing the ghost of you
And all I have to show is your old perfume
You woke in a cloud of smoke
The air went cold
Was it easier for you to just let go
Ignoring hands surround you to just take hold
We'll never know
We'll never know Mama

I cling to hoping you can see me
From the sky or through my eyes
So you can rest assured
I'm doin alright

I've chased you I know you're gone
I've written you to memory you're my song
And I'll sing you into a reverie
