There's a face turned away from me
Tears on my pillowcase
And a coldness in betweenThought perhaps that today
Might turn out differently
Instead it's the same routine
Say baby
Could you once maybe just think of me
Like you were my lover?
This may sound crazy, I know
But lately you haven't seemed
Like my long lost lover to me
My memories've been letting go
To have and hold
Is how we used to be
Yesterday's gone
Today is cold
An empty hole
That fills itself with me
Can't help thinking
About escaping this tragedy
But I need my lover
Become forsaken
The throb and aching goes on in me
Where my lover used to be
All I know
Is that my soul's been waiting for
Someone to love to care for me
I've got a lot of self-control
But still, I know this lonely home
Is eating at and killing me
If you would take just a little time
Like I've been wasting all of mine
Maybe we could love one another
Can't you see that the emptiness to hide
Behind a smile weighs all the time
Upon my mind curl up and cry
For the death of the long lost lover in you
There's a voice in my dreams
That's inclined romantically
So I go there frequently
In a way, it's a shame
That my nightly fantasies
Don't reflect the reality
Because waking
I find you facing away from me
And I miss my lover
My heart is breaking
Who could have taken my everything?
Return my lover to me.
