I lay in bed
Staring at the ceiling
Watching the shadows
Appear from my head

You are the scar
That doesn’t quite heal
Like an open wound
Which I can still feel

Where are you now
Out there on your own
In another world
Where you can’t be found

I tried and I cried
same time every night

I used everything
to numb my head

from the smoke
to the drink
I closed my eyes
to help me think

you were here
but you left me

so who is this
who’s laying
in our bed

I scrape my feet
along this broken road
dumping old memories
to lighten the load

I trip and stumble
between each crack
staying awake
so I don’t turn back

into the sunset
I must carry on
where she’ll be waiting
but I’ll be gone

You are the girl
that I once knew
who stole my heart
just to tear it in two

from the downward path
we both once took
stood my darkest hour
that unforgettable look

you are the one
who won’t be forgotten
the young slender woman
who filled all of heaven

I miss your love
your loving kiss
but I won’t forget
that awful day
when you simply,
walked away
