Trying to fill the void
by whatever means necessary
I guess in hindsight I can see
I wasn't even nearly ready
leaving a part of me behind
even the gentle memories
running through my mind
they can't comfort me
they don't feel too kind
I need music to help me unwind
but every song I play I've listened to
with you before at least a dozen times


I guess there's filling a void
then there's losing a limb
couldn't be better without you
admittedly I went out on a whim
forgot youth was for living
forgot I was made for loving
I slowly became numb
I slowly felt next to nothing
when I was crying my eyes out
sat directly next to something
my someone, my only something
so the walls I've built are crumbling
'*** I was made for loving


So I really do drink more
when I'm sad you were right
...guess you were right
I should have paid more attention
I wish I text you day and night
so it's over now, I said it's over now
and it was mutual so I suppose
that makes it easier somehow
except it really doesn't
and I'm not proud to say I'm weak
but I know what you get up to
at the end of the week
playing hard looking good
and behaving probably as
a young girl should
and I'll try not to get jealous


I'd never act out of jealousy
I love you too much
and love is the remedy
can't stop crying, the memories
a photo of us sits next to me
I really miss you texting me
I miss not waking you up for naps
so I could watch you sleep
I'm another can down not even
thinking about going to sleep
and the night just gets more deep
I guess love is like that mountain
the one we rode down in Greece
the way up is always nice
but going down it's more steep
and the hole gets bigger
