How can this be real?
How can this be real?
How can this be real?
You were just here
And I try to remind myself
That just because you're no longer here
Doesn't mean you never were
Even though I can no longer reach out and touch you
Doesn't mean you still don't exist in those moments we spent together
There's still a piece of you at the beach
Smiling and laughing in the waves
A piece of you in my old back yard
Where we would sit and talk under the stars
And even though you are gone physically,
It does not change the truth.
That you were mine.
You are mine.
And now you're home.

My love, you're so far away from me
Can you hear me calling?
Are you still listening?
My love, you don't know how perfect you are
Couldn't see past your scars
Now you're one of the stars
When I look up at the night sky, I still hear your voice
And I'd have you hear with me if I had a choice
My love, are you waiting for me?
Saving me a good seat,
Ready to show me the sights and sounds of the galaxy
My love, am I making you proud?
Are you still looking down on me up from the clouds?
When I look up at the night sky, I call out your name
And I would give anything to see you again
My love, do you like where you are?
Now you're one of the stars, I'll love you from afar

I’ll follow in the footsteps of Orpheus
To show the Lord and Lady the love we’d won
I’ll ask them if they’ve ever seen a love so true
I’ll sing my lament to the gods to get to you
I am not afraid of monsters or of ghosts
They’ll have to cut through this fog of grief before I’d even notice
My worst nightmare happened before my eyes
So let the underworld throw out their worst surprise
Looking back will drive you mad
But looking forward will have the same effect
Either way I don’t have you
What’s a girl supposed to do?
The Goddess of spring is quick to hear my word
Mother of all the lost and broken souls
And soon the heart of Hades is melted too
Even he could not ignore my love for you
Looking back will drive you mad
But looking forward will have the same effect
Either way I don’t have you
What’s a girl supposed to do?
Orpheus, my brother
Help me find the way you traveled in the night
Reunite me with my lover
I promises I won’t make the same mistake this time
