She plucks her strings Like waves flow and crash on the shore But now she packs her things like winter preparing for snow And now my lungs ache as I watch her Leave in the night Creeping out the shadow Our last days cast with the light Of memories that shine so bright My hands ache as my heart ignites But now darling you are the only thing left That keeps my heart in my chest Don't cry or I'll cry too I bet I often wonder why I can't be alone sometimes Maybe my self esteem just depends on the Look in her eyes Well she's just turned 18 Realised that life didn't just start My friends all left But I just can't find it in my heart To leave my family and art These forces they pull us apart But now darling you are the only thing left That keeps my heart in my chest Don't cry or I'll cry too I bet And now baby There's things that I just have to say My problems are simple these days I'm so scared of fading away
