I sense the absence of your face in my chest
But your image is burned in its place
You called me a fever that you just couldn't break
I called you Aphrodite until I embraced my mistake
I wasted words for you
As I imagined you wanted me to
That's why they're called "sweet nothings"
Because you don't remember them like I do
So, I scream at the sky
"Why won't you rain?"
Your voice is ringing in my ears
The wasted words that brought you pain
"So why won't you rain?"
I cherish the image of your outline
You welcome the timbre of my voice
But I can no longer see you
And you can no longer hear me
So, savor the lack of noise
I'll savor the lack of poise
I wasted words for you
As I imagined you wanted me to
That's why they're called sweet nothings
Because you don't remember them like I do
So I scream at the sky
Why won't you rain
Why won't you rain
Your voice is ringing in my ears
The wasted words that speak your name
So why won't you rain
