My best friend is a sweet and delicate girl
Everyday she battles through life
For two weeks I thought I'd lose her
What didn't her strong hand give to me?
Because of your loss I can finally feel
How much you gave
With our souls complete but our bodies broken
We've danced through the nights
You abandoned a part of you
So that you could survive
Oh, why does the absence hurt so much?
Why can you feel your arm but not touch?
Why does its absence impair you so?
You let your anchor go
Now I can feel your love flow
You carry your burden alone
Wishing to atone
On your journey leaving that lonely footprint behind
A sea of cobblestones at your heel
But not in your mind
No more risk you're just Sisyphus
Pushing that stone
Oh, why does the absence hurt so much?
Why can you feel your arm but not touch?
Why does its absence impair you so?
You let your anger go
Now I can feel your love flow
Yes, I can feel your love flow!
You suffer, so do I, you cry
I could never do what you do, oh I would die
I've been running for some years in a hamster wheel
No one could ever feel what you feel!
Oh, why does the absence hurt so much?
Why can you feel your arm but not touch?
Why does its absence impair you so?
You let your anger go
Now I can feel your
Why does the absence hurt so much, Oh
Why can you feel your arm but not touch?
Why does its absence impair you so?
You let your anchor go
Pain in every bone
No one hears it in your tone
But I heard it and
You're not alone
