Elena - Полночный дождь

The coffee's cold the morning light is grey
Another shadow walks at break of day
I find your keys beside the kitchen door
But I don't hear footsteps anymore

The closet's half empty the hangers are bare
Just ghosts of the sweaters you used to wear
I try to breathe but the air is too thick
The clock on the wall makes a heavy slow tick

We built a castle out of words and dreams
Now it's unraveling right in front of me
You said forever with a quiet smile
But forever only lasted for a little while

I watch the rain hit the window pane
It feels like the sky is shedding my pain
A sudden whisper of what used to be
Is all that is left to be with me

And the tears keep falling like a midnight rain
How do I learn to let you go
When you're the only home I'll ever know
It's a long cold road from goodbye to alright

And I am drowning and the tears tonight
I walk these streets where we used to run
Under the glow of the summer sun
But now the colors faded to black

And there is no map that can lead you back
I look at my hands they remember your touch
Maybe the problem was loving too much
We burned so bright then we turned into ash

Beautiful story that ended too fast
My friends all tell me that time will heal
This heavy hollowness that I feel
But they don't see me when the lights go down

And the memories come back to flood this town
I hold my pillow and pretend it's you
Hating the truth that one way street going through
The silence you left is a deafening sound

Laying my shattered heart on the ground
And the tears keep falling like a midnight rain
Did you cry too when you walked away
Or was it easy to leave today

I'm trapped in the spaces you left behind
Searching for answers I'll never find
The river of sorrow is facing my face
And nothing could ever take your place

The days will pass and the weeks will turn
The lessons of heartbreak are hard to learn
I'll pack the pictures away in a box
And lock up the memories with heavy locks

But a part of my soul will always remain
Lost in the shadow of this goodbye train
I hope you find whatever you need
While I stay behind silently bleed

And the tears keep falling like a midnight rain
Why should I remember every single word of pain
How do I learn to let you go
When you're the only home I'll ever know

It's a long cold road from goodbye to alright
And I am drowning and the tears tonight
