<i>Another night all alone w/o my baby here at home
I type away with many worries sifting through my head
What I really need is to have you back in my bed
The thoughts of someone holding you
Make me get up and leave the room
At this point I don't care whose to blame any more
All I can do is hope you walk thru that front door
The nights turn to days as I get up and feed the cats
Yes we still have 3 and maybe another 3 wandering around
I take a shower and dream your next to me
But I know those days are just a memory
I think of many ideas just to get you to talk
When all seem to fail I feel like can't do anything right
Another day approaches light...
My parents surprised me by knocking at the door
I left them out there not sure I wanted their company
But they kept knocking and tapping the window
I begrudgingly let them in and was sorry I did
Old people telling me what I did wrong and don't need reminded
I ****** up and let my wife Becca walk out of my life
As usual I had no plan to get her to come back
When nothing worked I got frustrated and said the wrong things
I guess maybe I was just trying to hard and anger led me astray
I hold out hope for those magic words that I have yet to find
I know they are buried somewhere in my mind
In truth there no words that I can say to end my misery
I only hope that you can some how forgive me
I neglected you and was caught up in a different world
When I should have fought to stay in yours as well
I can only promise you my undying faith and love
And swear to GOD that I will never treat you like a prisoner again
I just want these lonely nights to come to an end
And put my arms around you and kiss you good night
But I look around this lonely house and all I see
Are memories of what you meant to me
And I slowly shut down the computer and grab my phone
And regret that I was the reason you walked away
And that's a pain that will never go away
I miss you baby ...what more can I say?
