Somewhere in the hidden deep
where my soul's at rest and I’m fast asleep
You come to visit in my dreams
Haunting, agonizing me tirelessly

Where do you go when you sleep at night?
Is she in your arms, are you holding her tight?
Like you held me when we were once one
It’s a perpetual nightmare to see what you’ve become
It nudges and pulls at me while I’m in my dreams
I see you, but you always see right past me
And when I wake your shadow lurks
It follows me closely as I get dressed for work
You’re in my rearview mirror when I’m on my way
I pray to make it through another day

And as I kiss a little boy goodbye
I send him off and on his way
And as he turns to smile at me and wave goodbye
I see pieces of you and I want to cry
His eyes, like yours, are intense
The love I have for him is immense

And for that moment I see your face in his
It reminds me that in him you always live
Every day I fight this war that lives within
Trying to forget you while raising him
Since the day you left, not one day less.
