"Shanghai" lyrics

Not a sound, there's nothing but dead air and
The restless voice in my head
I've given up, trying to make sense of

How this was inevitable

Can't run, can't hide, can't pretend it's not the end
Is this the end?
It's easy to forget, with the space in between us
You're so far away

Never thought I could witness a love so pure
A fleeting miracle
Couldn't say it but, you taught me what it means to love

Can't run, can't hide, can't pretend it's not the end
Because it is
It's easy to forget, with the space in between us
You're so far away

There's a part of my heart, still young and naïve
That truly believes, you'll come back to me
A part of you remains, in my memory
I'll be ok, better for knowing you

I'll be okay, better for knowing you
You taught me how to love
You came and went so fast, an ephemeral part of my life
But I'm better for knowing you
Can't run, can't hide
Can't pretend it's not the end, if only we could pretend
It's easy to forget when you're so far away
But I'll be okay, better for knowing you
