Betraying The Martyrs
The Sound of Letting You Go
[Chorus: Victor Guillet]
It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me
[Verse 1: Aaron Matts]
This is the sound of letting you go
Your final days just stole
They took your life too soon
They took the brightest soul
Those breaths you should have took
Those words you could have spoken
Injustice
The impact broke our hearts
Leaving us all so speechless
How could this fucking be?
A night so long and sleepless
Injustice, no
I'm left with no goodbye
I guess we're letting you go
[Chorus: Victor Guillet, with Aaron Matts]
It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me
[Verse 2: Aaron Matts]
When the lights went out
And your heartbeat stopped
We've never felt such pain, only memories remain
But we will never, ever forget
[Bridge: Aaron Matts]
No
This is the sound of letting you go
When the wheels overturned
My God, how it hurts
So long
[Chorus: Victor Guillet, with Aaron Matts]
It tears me deep when I close my eyes
To think that you're no longer here
Can't you tell I'm no longer breathing?
Can't you tell, can't you see I'm drowning in fear?
I'm in the deep, deep in denial
Don't tell me you're no longer here
I know your flame was no longer burning
But it always burns for me
[Outro: Victor Guillet]
It tears me deep when I close my eyes
I realize you are not here
It still hurts when I try to breathe
Some things will never disappear
I'll always be deep in denial
I'll always feel like you're still here
Your flame won't stop burning
It burns forever in our dreams
