Counterpart - Dayseeker

Because they might be the last that you hear from me

Swore an oath for, for worse or for better

But I’m left here writing in my death letter

What a crippling thought to imagine it might never reach you

Just know, though, I’m lost

You’re my compass when I search for rescue

We lost ourselves, caught in a tidal wave

Searched every direction, but I found no one the same

When you find yourself coming across a picture of us

Tell me truthfully, was I your only one?

Would you fall apart when you’d try

To erase every moment lost in time?

My love had a home in your heart

And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

I wanted to be the one to keep you warm when you were cold

Watch our lives play out, but I will be gone while you grow old

Grant me this last request before I meet the hands of death

When I’m buried in the dirt, remember us for what it’s worth

We lost ourselves caught it a tidal wave

Searched every direction, but I found no one the same

When you find yourself coming across a picture of us

Tell me truthfully, was I your only one?

Would you fall apart when you’d try

To erase every moment lost in time?

My love had a home in your heart

And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

My counterpart

You filled out my empty pieces

All the parts that I lacked

But I dragged you through hell and back

My hands bruised and bloody before I had an epiphany

That I couldn’t see, I was already in my tomb

This might be the last time I will ever speak

So listen to me, please

Would you fall apart when you’d try

To erase every moment lost in time?

My love had a home in your heart

And I’ll die knowing you were my counterpart

My counterpart, my counterpart
