If Hope Dies By The Time You Read This Lyrics

By The Time You Read This Lyrics

I'm leaving right now, not for another moment. 

Can I stand to bear the
weight of your eyes upon me. 

There's a weight that pressing on my
shoulders. 

Each step away takes so much effort. 

But when you turn
around next I still won't be there. 

I've managed to kid myself about who
I am. 

For such a long time. 

And about how you may have felt. 

It's still hard to put into words. 

Just how much you mean to me. 



Those wonderful nights just seem so far away now. 

I can look
into the sky. 

And almost see them, out there between the stars. 

Of course I know you don't even see that much at all. 

So when you
look back I'll be gone,

and you won't have missed a thing. 



Maybe this is better. 

Because I'd rather you not see this. 

How
I'd scream at these walls. 

Until I can't speak your name again. 



I've managed to kid myself about who I am. 

For such a long
time. 

And about how you may have felt. 

It's still hard to put
into words. 

Just how much you mean to me. 



I'll be gone
when you turn around. 

You'll only see the same empty space. 

The
space that we both shared. 

This those memories that you've forgotten.

And I'll be running; I'll keep on running. 

Because I'm leaving for
good. 

I won't be looking back, no I won't. 



Running forward
into the night. 

I'll let it swallow me whole. 

Maybe you'll hear me
in the wind. 

But then it will be too late. 

To say goodbye. 



Goodbye.
