Runner - From Indian Lakes, Ansible

When you’re old enough

When you’ve been through it

You won’t know what it’s like

You can’t see things the same

But you’re closer now

Did you close your eyes

Did I close them first

You weren’t strong enough

I’m no stronger than you

But the years take their toll on us all

I’m starting to see why you drifted away after all

And no one explains to you where the things go that you love

Til they’ve already gone

You held on for us

The house gathered dust

We were selfish then

And we held onto things

But they’ve all gone now

Did I take too long

Did I ask too much

I didn’t love you as much as I could

And the silence is killing me now

I’m starting to see why you drifted away after all

And no one explains to you where the things go that you love

How many times will I try to pretend that you’re here

And I had a few questions I never got to ask you in time

Cause you’d already gone
