Pretend that I'm sleeping, not dying inside
Thinking of what we will never get to do
My heart can't take anymore, it's still holding you
But it's filling with holes
Like the one that you fell through
Chorus:
There's a hole in my arms where you used to lay
A hole in my heart where I carried you all day
And I never knew what I had
Until I lost it
There's a hole in my vision where I once saw you
And a hole in my soul where it's tearing in two
How could I not have known
I was so rich?
I reached for a straw but it broke in my hands
Again, in an instant, goodbye to my plans
God seems so silent, or maybe He's gone
Dead as the hopes that I once relied on
Draining away out the very same holes
Where I already lost you
Chorus
Everybody's trying to wake me from slumber
But everything that matters is buried deep under
The very same soil where they say seeds are planted
I dig and I dig but come out empty-handed
All that I want is you back
Chorus
I was so rich
So rich

I hope you get to sing this. Very nice job.
Dead as the hopes that I once relied on
Draining away out the very same holes
Where I already lost you
The deep emotion of this piece rings out through every beautiful, heart-wrenching lyric. The part that I quoted above really touches me, because I think it eloquently portrays how most people feel, at least at first, whenever they lose someone that they dearly love. They feel that since their loved one is gone, perhaps God has left them as well. How wonderful to know that no matter what (or who) we lose or how low we get, our God will never leave us.
Inspiring! Very well done!
