What Once Was There

What Once Was There Im not looking forward to this day My heart is aching with every step I take My mind is racing with things I have to say I went on for so long, What went wrong? (Chorus) I want to keep going on I want to keep going strong But now I know I have to let you go So I can keep moving on Missing you night and day And yet I have nothing to say You’re gone you’re gone, But you’ve been gone all along I count the tears that I cry No matter how hard I try To leave you behind You are always on my mind My soul empty, my eyes dry I don’t know if ill be able, To say goodbye (Chorus) I don’t know what life is going to be like ever since you left, But I know all the memories will be kept, Useless days of my life, spent As I watch the sun set I’ll watch the days go by Where all you say is, “Hi.” You’ve caused me so much pain Playing your little game You’ve turned my life upsides down Then again you turned it around. (Chorus) You showed me what love really meant For all the time you spent, Showing my to love, To get through life with no shove Now my eyes are open A veil lifted Now I have my choices My whole world shifted My scars, all my weight Now I can finally escape (Chorus) Even though we are on pause My love for you will still go on Before I had no one to count on Now I have you to lean on I want to keep going on I want to keep going strong But now I know I have to let you go So I can keep moving on Missing you night and day And yet I have nothing to say You’re gone you’re gone, But you’ve been gone all along
