lyrics

I wish I could put into words
How great of a need I have for closure.

You were a leaf in the wind that was blown away from me.

You were already gone, but I was left holding on.

Pursuing what was out of my reach, foolishly holding on to instability.
This is all I have come to know.

For too long I have been trying to face this challenge,

The challenge, of leaving you in the past.
The struggle, of forgetting you at last.
