My Light

I never thought I could say the words
But as you're walking out the door tonight,
Your hair slicked back the way it always is,
I realise that you're walking out with my light.

We started out in a heaven we called home,
I was your angel and you were mine.
Our eyes sparkled when we caught glimpses
And we couldn't get enough of each other.

When we fought it was like cats and dogs,
Now it's degenerated into uncomfortable silences.
There's a pain in my chest because of you
And it's the only reminder of what we had.

I never thought I could say the words
But as you're walking out the door tonight,
Your coat of your shoulder the way it always is,
I realise that you're walking out with my light.

But now, my angel, you have spread your wings;
You want to fly away to another Garden of Eden.
You think the grass is greener on the other side,
Now that you've left the grass here is withered.

You were like a spring feeding the rivers of my life
But, when you shut that door, the last drop will go.
You've left me high and dry and no tears will ever fall
Because I can't feel if you've taken my heart.

I never thought I could say the words
But as you're walking out the door tonight,
Your shirt untucked the way it always is,
I realise that you're walking out with my light.

And now, with your bag packed and ready to go,
I know if I wait too long it will be too late.
When we started we never thought it would end like this.
There's only one thing I can do right now.

I put my hand on your shoulder one last time.
Your faded eyes light up one last time
But I'm choking on the words you want
And some things just weren't meant to be.

I never thought I could say the words
But as you're walking out the door tonight,
You're waiting for me to say the words,
I realise that you're walking out with my light.
