It's about the attachment to that person who you feel like can fill a void...and then them leaving

--Verse 1--
With the departure of an importer
I could not stay with the remainder
I had to leave
I had to leave
I had to leave to be nurtured

And as strong bonds developed
The hole started to become enveloped
By the whole
By the whole
By the whole distraction in front of my eyes

--Bridge--
Someone who sat awkwardly in the void
But sat in the void nonetheless
Someone who kept to themselves
But sat in that void nonetheless
Someone who I looked to as a replacement
Someone who I could count on to be there
Someone who loved, a friend, someone who cared
Someone who sat in the void and made me forget it was there

--Chorus--
And it died
And so did I
The hole opened wide
And I fell a little further down inside
Waiting for a helping hand
Someone to pull me up
I'm tired of the feelings so bland
I need someone to pull me up

--Verse 2--
I remember the last time you were in my eyes
I remember the way I cried
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know I was starting to die

And as I sat down to listen to someone talk about you who did not even know you
Me and that remainder were instructed to dry out eyes - we were making the others upset
But we embraced the tears we were told to reject for the man whom I did so tightly connect

repeat bridge
repeat chorus
