I have these pictures of you I can’t look at them now I have these memories of you I can’t think of them now I have this need to see you But I can’t be with you now Because you’re gone And you’re never coming back This isn’t some sappy love poem Where I dramatically confess my love And lament the choices we made That have left me alone again This isn’t some stupid plea For you to come back and see me again Because you can’t You aren’t at home You aren’t out with friends And I’m not pretending you’ll call me again Because you won’t I wasn’t there And it’s killing me They say you held on For three hours more And I wasn’t there And it’s killing me I don’t know how to deal With never seeing you again And it’s killing me

It's Killing Me
I have these pictures of you I can’t look at them now I have these memories of you I can’t think of them now I have this need to see you But I can’t be with you now Because you’re gone And you’re never coming back This isn’t some sappy love poem Where I dramatically confess my love And lament the choices we made That have left me alone again This isn’t some stupid plea For you to come back and see me again Because you can’t You aren’t at home You aren’t out with friends And I’m not pretending you’ll call me again Because you won’t I wasn’t there And it’s killing me They say you held on For three hours more And I wasn’t there And it’s killing me I don’t know how to deal With never seeing you again And it’s killing me
