Every time I close my eyes

It’s there I see your smile

The one that’s no longer mine

I hear your laugh

In the ghost of my dreams

And when I wake

I have to choke back my screams

I knew I loved you before

But the depth was hard to see

It’s impossible to understand

Until you try to fill the void of what used to be

And wrapped up in her arms

Do you ever think of me?

Because I can’t let go

When every moment’s haunted by what used to be.

No tears escape

I can say your name

I don’t feel anything

Neither happiness nor pain

Is this healing

This numbing ache

Or is this dying

Because I can’t escape

CHORUS

What I want more than anything, is to let go of it all

The sound of your voice, my smile every time you’d call

The feel of your hair, as I brushed it from your eyes

The sound of your laugh, when I believed all your lies

The comfort of your hands, when you held me close

The sorrow I’ve felt now that I need you the most

They don’t leave with my cries; they don’t fall with my tears,

I’ve tried pushing it away, but after all these years

I knew I loved you before

But the depth was hard to see

It’s impossible to understand

Until you try to fill the void of what used to be

And wrapped up in her arms

Do you ever think of me?

Because I can’t let go

When every moment’s haunted by

When every memory’s tainted by

When every thought’s stolen by

When my heart’s broken by

what used to be.

I used to be…
