I'll stay out of your way
I held your hand as I spoke those words to you
That was all, no tears to fall
I am what you made me, I am cold and strong and numb

And you'd be proud of how I'm holding out

And please don't let me disappear
You don't have to keep me near
Just close enough to think of you
When there's an unobstructed view

We began a series of plans
And now we are parallel washed from separate strands
And we relied on clear line of sight
I won't break the distance, I will always stay my ground

I'll make you proud, I'm holding out

Please don't let me disappear
You don't have to keep me near
Just close enough to think of you
When there's an unobstructed view

And please don't let me disappear
Not out of love for me, my dear
But I know how you hate the sound
Of your own voice in an empty house
