I m Not Myself, I m Gone

Verse 1

Your image burned so deep in my soul,
I never knew you would make me whole.
That light has struck, it won’t let me go,
I’m defeated, and you should know.
Every day, every hour, each breath,
Like a shadow you follow, no rest.
All my blood’s running wild in flame,
Now I carry your name.

Chorus

In my mind it’s you,
I’m burning through and through.
And I keep telling me:
I’m on your side, you see.
I need you endlessly,
My thoughts are all of you.
But when I’m left alone,
I’m not myself, I’m gone.

Verse 2

Why can’t I explain what I feel?
It’s a secret I can’t reveal.
All we had, every moment we shared,
Every heartbeat is still right there.
In my notes only traces remain,
To the poles I would follow your name.
And the world thinks we’re lost, yet they see,
Now you’re living in me.

Chorus

In my mind it’s you,
I’m burning through and through.
And I keep telling me:
I’m on your side, you see.
I need you endlessly,
My thoughts are all of you.
But when I’m left alone,
I’m not myself, I’m gone.

Bridge

I can’t escape, it’s pulling me in,
A fire that burns beneath my skin.
No turning back, I won’t pretend,
This feeling won’t end, this feeling won’t end…

Final Chorus

In my mind it’s you,
I’m burning through and through.
And I keep telling me:
I’m on your side, you see.
I need you endlessly,
My thoughts are all of you.
But when I’m left alone,
I’m not myself… I’m gone.
