Lyrics
Verse 1:
I thought our bond was thicker than blood
But it wasn't enough to bind you here
Blossoms are falling, and I've lost my voice
So I haltingly tap on my device
Pre-Chorus:
Life often makes no sense
But I keep trying to make it so
In my mind, you were my sister
From that first memory long ago
Chorus:
Blossoms fall to the ground silently
I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down
The silence is stye-fulling, it’s breaking me
No sound, no words, in emptiness, I drown
Verse 2:
A long run in the tropical sun
A work event, your face sweaty, heavy bag
Halfway through, you looked exhausted
"Let me carry your bag," I said
Shin splints for months, but that first memory
Still makes me smile
Pre-Chorus:
You were a good friend, always supportive
When others weren't, but wanting and expecting
More than life could give
For a long time, you were perfect
And at times, that made it hard
Chorus:
Blossoms fall to the ground silently
I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down
The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me
No sound, no words, just an empty sound
Bridge:
Your expectations so high
Sometimes only you could've reached
Never finding someone true
Now your silent end was alone
I'm angry and sad all at once
Chorus:
Blossoms fall to the ground silently
I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down
The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me
No sound, no words, just an empty sound
Verse 3:
I tried to be there when you needed
At work, or halfway across earth
I admit, I lost patience at times
Wanted you to see the world my way
But you were you, and that’s why
I loved you like a sister
Verse 4:
Remember the popcorn chicken,
The vendor thought we were having an affair
And when you worried about Hanta virus,
I sent a link with a hazmat suit flair
I had such a good smile and laugh
When you opened the link
Pre-Chorus:
Your lists ran your day
Sometimes frustrating me, getting in the way
I wish you'd enjoyed the moment more
Found peace in what was
But you were you, and that’s why
I loved you like a sister
Chorus:
Blossoms fall to the ground silently
I'm voiceless now, hot tears streaking down
The silence is deafening, it’s breaking me
No sound, no words, just an empty sound
New Section:
I feel so alone right now
Even in crowded spaces,
I feel a phantom itch, on a missing limb
And I want to cry,
But too many faces to see
In every direction I look
Final Chorus:
Blossoms fall unrelentingly
Tears fall silently, splashing flowers on the ground
Silence deadens, in this moment, breaking me
No sound, no words, just an empty sound
Outro:
Your mind and resolve were stronger than your body
It makes no sense, and I don't expect it to
But my emotions refuse to stop asking why
And my reasoning has lost this battle
How can someone so full of life no longer be here?
The silence now is unbearable, it’s all I hear.
