Strings

These four years I've changed damn near everything

But I didn't have it in me to change these strings

When you took your last breath

I could feel it in these frets

It took me four years to let go of that regret

It took me four years to change these strings

It took me four years to change these strings

When I last saw you alive

I knew you wouldn't make it through the night

It took me four years to say goodbye

When Lorelei died four weeks ago

I changed these strings four weeks ago

I don't believe in ghosts

But I can feel her in my bones

I can see her in the mirror

I can hear her in my tone

I feel her when I'm angry

And even more when I show love

How many years will I hold onto her

The way I held onto the thought of

You still being here everytime I played the same strings you played before

What am I supposed to do now that I don't have old strings anymore?
