As absent as the breath you draw

The anti-gravitational mist rises

Prizes itself from the fields of frozen snow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The canal surface settles the reflections

Fringed by the winter white hedgerow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The snowflakes that float on the breeze

Crystallised water as the thoughts that flow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

In my dreams I never meant for you to go

In my schemes I never wanted you to go

In my dreams I never wanted you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go
I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go
