    • To you, yes my love, to you, yes my love, to you, you, to you I'm who I am as I hear who you are as who you are The final words you whispered before you left me with a scar On your familiar silver jacket, splattered coffee's left a stain Destined always to remain, and still we're lost inside the habit Tears reflecting in the paint show our pitiful frame Stay with me, in the dead of night I'm banging on your door I'm begging you, without you I'm done for Now the winter arrived, like the tears in our eyes Stay with me, while your voice remains an echo of the past I'm holding on to moments that won't last I will never forget, I will never regret our love Confusing love and loving, there is a difference all beside The final words you whispered before you left me with a scar Another winter is arriving, like a bird you went away Migrate back to me and stay, but still I'm lost inside the habit Here I'm yearning for your touch, will it ever matter much?
