I see your face in every window
A ghost that's haunting me tonight
You filled any space with your laughter
While I fade into the quietest of nights

I'm drowning in my own expectations
Lost in what it means to have your name
You were the spark that kept them going
Without you, I can't do the same

If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
You left your mark on all their faces
I barely stumble to just stay alive

I feel like I'm a burden standing
In the ashes of your flame
You were the light, the understanding
And I'm left here to take the blame

They say time heals all our wounds
But mine seem deeper every day
I'd give my life to bring you back soon
And take your pain, make it fade away

I'm drowning in my own expectations
Lost in what it means to have your name
You were the spark that kept them going
Without you, I can't do the same

If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
You left your mark on all their faces
I barely stumble to just stay alive

I feel like I'm a burden standing
In the ashes of your flame
You were the light, the understanding
And I'm left here to take the blame

Every night I dream you're near
But morning breaks, still you're not here
I'm trapped inside this endless fear
Wishing I could disappear

If I could rewrite our story
I'd bring you back and set you free
Trade my life for all your glory
You deserve what I can't be

If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
You left your mark on all their faces
I barely stumble to just stay alive

I feel like I'm a burden standing
In the ashes of your flame
You were the light, the understanding
And I'm left here to take the blame
