lyrics

In this cabin alone
still want this place to feel like home
sitting here wondering where it all went wrong
the fireplace is tended to
clock on the wall slightly askew
steadily ticking me closer to you

my memories all start materializing and arising, it begins
the sweet taste of your lips, the caress of your skin, its all emerging from within
and this sense of regret, this is not what I wanted
now i'm haunted
by the promise of what could have been

your whispers hum through the radio
your image trapped in the video
detect your aura within this memento
my senses becoming more aware
a trace of your perfume in the air
this hallowed ground fallen into disrepair

even though i'm presented with your apparition, an admission i confess
now this vision will not pacify my desire to feel you pressed against my chest
and this sense of regret, this is not what I wanted
now i'm haunted
by the promise of what could have been

snowflakes gently fall as i try to recall
the feelings when we met, i'm starting to forget
windows covered with frost and the sensations lost
i peer out to see if she's returning to me

on that day we made an endless promise that we'd never be apart
and now i'm constantly reminded by this cavern in my heart
though i sutured it up, manages still to bleed through
and i try to make it stop
but it wont ever heal

your whispers hum through the radio
your image trapped in the video
detect your aura within this memento
sanctuary of our love affair
head bowed, solemnly recite a prayer
this hallowed ground fallen into disrepair
