Not to Keep (Lyrics)

You died at 7 in the morning a falling star up in the sky another fading memory reflecting in my eyes We had way too much to drink that night so I took the words out of your mouth and said You'll be gone by summer I'll think about the times I'll never have with you and I'll be left here waiting for you to come around I'll hold your letters close you'll grab onto your gun No sleeping no whispers I sat up straight to take your hand and said: “Just sail on my sailor, you'll always find me in the sunset” So you were gone by summer I'm thinking about the times I'll never have with you you're everything I ever wanted you're brighter than the sweetest sunny day I'm lying in the shadows of an oak tree the wind upon my skin the sun is useless without you Another raindrop onto your grave I see the letters and the numbers the flowers that are withering away They whisper: “he's not to keep now close your eyes and feel his heartbeat, he'll always be there for you, just close your eyes and feel his heart before it's gone.”
