Glance at your desk every morning
Cause I'm in mourning
I'm feeling those flowers in my chest
They all keep saying the same things
I hope you're okay here if you need
Nothing prepares you for this emptiness
We've been writing notes to you
It was too soon I can still see you
Sometimes I reach out and grasp at the air where you once stood
I couldn't be there when your heart gave up
I thought we had time but time wasn't enough
And it turned out your heart was beating for all of us
We were too young to watch you leave this life behind
Annabel I can't bury you without a goodbye
It wasn't your time
Did I know you well?
Are you still there when day and night would collide
Under a purple sky?
Now I'm here drowning my sorrows in red wine
At the Slaughtered Lamb we drink at all the time
A phantom of you lingers at the bar
The world was cheated of your wit
You won't see me get married I won't meet your kids
But I can picture you as I'm crying in my car
At least I know you're giving heaven a lot of work
Annabel I can't bury you without a goodbye
It wasn't your time
Did I know you well?
Are you still there when day and night would collide
Under a purple sky?
They found me crying in my car when they told me you were gone
I had no way to tell myself we're alright
I never said goodbye that Tuesday
You never saw another Sunday
And I know that you'd have been a friend for a life
They found me crying in my car
They found me crying in my car
They found me crying in my car when they told me you were gone
They found me crying in my car goodbye
