Lyrics

**(Chorus)**
And I look for you in the empty spaces between the furniture
I feel you on the cold side of the bed
I hear you in every song the radio plays
You're gone, but not completely, not yet
We turned to dust, and into starlight
A memory that fights, a flame that gives no light

**(Verse 2)**
Your sweater smells of laundry now
The last bit of you has faded from the thread
I wear it still, an empty shell
Because the emptiness hurts more than the pain

**(Pre-Chorus)**
And the world says: "You must move on"
And I nod and say: "I know"
But every "okay" that I utter
Feels like a small betrayal...

**(Chorus)**
And I look for you in the empty spaces between the furniture
I feel you on the cold side of the bed
I hear you in every song the radio plays
You're gone, but not completely, not yet
We turned to dust, and into starlight
A memory that fights, a flame that gives no light

**(Bridge)**
(Music swells, becomes more emotional, almost desperate, then falls back)
Was the last time that you laughed, the last time that you shouted?
Should I have stayed much longer? Was there something I should say?
The clock has no answers, it just ticks on and on
From an "us" to a "nevermore," from a we to a gone...

**(Final Chorus)**
(Music becomes powerful, with strings and drums. The vocals are raw emotion, almost screaming with grief)
And I *look* for you in the empty spaces, God, where are you?
I *feel* you on the cold side, an eternal cold
I *hear* you in every song, every word is a knife
You're gone, and it's almost *too* much, almost too hard to take
We were made of dust, and we returned to dust
But somewhere, between the earth and the sky, you remain, my love
Oh, you remain...

**(Outro)**
(Piano returns solo, softly, slowly fading out)
And the spaces between the furniture...
Are empty...
The cold side of the bed...
Is cold...
And the starlight from back then...
Is just dust now...
Only dust...
