"Wilt" lyrics

"Wilt"

My house is haunted now
I leave the candles lit
Cool breeze on my neck
I used to be so innocent
Pinch my skin tell me if it's real
I'll leave the candles lit
Just give me a minute

I feel a shiver down my spine
Honestly depressed
Life will never be the same
Ten months ago you said you were fine
Now the times have changed
Life's a bitter game we play

I saw you lay there as the flowers wilt away
Any day now they say
It's a waiting game we play
Colours fade slowly
Why can't you wait?
I miss how things used to be

(Oh, oh) I miss how things used to be

I watched you leave your body
Floating away right before my eyes
I thought you would be alright
I thought you'd be okay
Just like before
On to fight another day

I'm burning pages in the book
I watched an ember glow through smoke
Heavy thoughts replay in grey
I miss how things used to be

I'm burning pages in the book
I watched an ember glow through smoke
Heavy thoughts replay in grey
Fond memories on the highway

I saw you lay there as the flowers wilt away
Any day now they say
It's a waiting game we play
Colours fade slowly
Why can't you wait?
I miss how things used to be

(Oh, oh) I miss how things used to be
(Oh, oh) I miss how things used to be
