In every sound that we shared from your radio
like photographs kept in frames
everything that we were, in vibrating air
it's so clear, it's like we were there.
Oh how it rained on that day that I left you
a small comfort at best from the hole in your chest
that I left when you buried me.
But please don't remember me that way, remember me.
'Cause I'm not in this grave
I'm in the rain.
And within the bleeding heart in you
here I am.
So even though everything that you cling to now is gone.
In every single tear, every smile, here I am.
I was sick and afraid when I left you
But don't dwell on that day, cause It's not who I am
Let the songs and the rain remind you
if ever you were to forget.
Every second on earth I endured
was heaven because you cared
and a love like that doesn't die
I know it from the tears in your eyes
but I am not ashes, I am not dust
I won't take for granted the time given us
So if ever I'm sought in your prayers
don't wish that I were still there
look anywhere.
'Cause I'm not in this grave
I'm in the rain
and within the bleeding heart in you
here I am
so even though everything that you cling to now is gone
in every single tear, every smile
here I am
So let go.
