After School Trauma Club - Pass You On The Way Lyrics

I see your face in every window
Your spirit follows me tonight
You filled any space you could with laughter
While I fade into the most quiet nights
I'm drowning in my own expectations
Lost in what it means to have your name
You were the spark that kept them going
Without you, I can't do the same
If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
You left your mark on all their faces
I barely stumble to just stay alive
I feel like I'm a burden standing
In the ashes of your flame
You were the light, the understanding
And I'm left here to take the blame
They say time heals all our wounds
But mine seem deeper every day
I'd give my life to bring you back soon
And take their pain, make it fade away
I'm drowning in my own expectations
Lost in what it means to have your name
You were the spark that kept them going
Without you, I can't do the same
If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
You left your mark on all their faces
I barely stumble to just stay alive
I feel like I'm a burden standing
In the ashes of your flame
You were the light, the understanding
And I'm left here to take the blame
Every night I dream you're near
But morning breaks, still you're not here
I'm trapped inside this endless fear
Wishing I was the one who disappeared
If I could rewrite our story
I'd bring you back and set you free
Trade my life for all your glory
You deserve what I'll never be
If I could, I would trade our places
I'd smile as I pass you on the way
