Cold Absence (1)

Cold Absence Verse 1 Your shirt on the chair, I hold it when I'm low. Your scent has faded now, But I still won't let it go. Your picture's on my desk, I trace your smiling face. I close my eyes and wish I could return to your embrace. Pre-Chorus They tell me that someday I'll learn to let go, But how do I leave when I still love you so? Chorus Warm embrace turns into cold absence, I whisper your name when the whole world sleeps. And cry for the promise my memory keeps, For the love that I buried but couldn't release. Warm embrace turns into cold absence, Your touch is a ghost that my heart still seeks. And grieve for the promise my memory keeps, While I hold onto you in the silence and dreams. Verse 2 If heaven gave one hour, I'd spend it holding you. No words, no fear, no ending, Just us like we once knew. I'd memorize your laughter, I'd never let you go. Then carry that one moment Wherever I may go. Pre-Chorus They tell me that someday I'll learn to let go, But how do I leave when I still love you so? Chorus Warm embrace turns into cold absence, I whisper your name when the whole world sleeps. And cry for the promise my memory keeps, For the love that I buried but couldn't release. Warm embrace turns into cold absence, Your touch is a ghost that my heart still seeks. And grieve for the promise my memory keeps, While I hold onto you in the silence and dreams. [Drum solo] [stop] Bridge If heaven is somewhere beyond these skies, I hope you can see me through these tired eyes. I'm still the one who would run to you, Still keeping the promises we once made true. And if there's a place where our souls can meet, I'll find you again when my journey's complete. [pause] Until that day, I'll carry you on, Loving you quietly after you're gone. [build up instrumental] [halftime drums in chorus] Chorus Warm embrace turns into cold absence, I whisper your name when the whole world sleeps. And cry for the promise my memory keeps, For the love that I buried but couldn't release. Warm embrace turns into cold absence, Your touch is a ghost that my heart still seeks. And grieve for the promise my memory keeps, While I hold onto you in the silence and dreams. Final Chorus Warm embrace turns into cold absence, I whisper your name when the whole world sleeps. And cry for the promise my memory keeps, For a love my lonely heart still seeks. Warm embrace turns into cold absence, Your warmth still burns in me. Until the day I find you, I'll love you endlessly.
