The Curtain Fell Lyrics by Empty Handed

A Memory That No One Clings Onto

2013

Sadness keeps killing me
We tried to keep alive, something that died long before:
Every illusion that kept us together, every promise that made us forget
“Nothing gold can stay” and people never stop leaving
I already know what it feels like when my heart stops beating
What I’ve learned from this: no place seems far enough from you
I think about my favorite colours but they will never cover anything
You still wreck me and my fucking mind I don’t have any place to stay
Your silhouette is all I see
I am on my own
It’s in the way you looked at me ‘cause nothing replaces your smile
Now, I crossed your face: memories no more
And I thought it would make a difference but I am weak and I feel the need to share with you
My hands still shiver, like in that moment that we first kissed
Now that we part ways: there’s so much left to say, so many thoughts to carry, but I am helpless
My lips can’t move and my mouth is shut
It’s just a memory that slowly fades away and my breath still writes letters in the air
I miss you and I can’t get over you
[The curtain fell, for everyone to see, we faced the distance between us but the audience left]2x
