"The Grace In Her Hope"

I searched for her name in my phone
This loneliness is selfish but I still have hope
She talks in her sleep about me
I lift her away as she clears the stakes
She's sleeping
And the songs we'll sing, those stars I'm in

There's one thing that I must have done for you
Told you that I was sorry
There's one thing that I'd love to say to you
I could have loved you

Secret spinning is her grace
And slowly it will separate and I still have hope
These words cannot define me so rest
I lift her away as she clears the stakes
She's sleeping
And the songs we'll sing, those stars I'm in

There's one thing that I must have done for you
Told you that I was sorry
There's one thing that I'd love to say to you
I could have loved you

It's all my fault
I held on to you
I stepped on your shadow

If this life's all I have
Then what's life without love?
Emptiness, loneliness
I don't believe, believe, believe
I could have loved you

There's one thing that I'd love to say to you
I could have loved you
Tears run dry
And it's over, I'm sober
Lying awake in bed
There's one thing that I must have said to you
I could have loved you
