The thoughts of you beside me in bed have now faded
Replaced with an emptiness I would have often traded
So much love turned to lust, quickly eating us alive
Our hearts grew heavy, falling fast, almost love deprived.

Where you are now haunts my mind, making it hard to sleep
Remembering the promises you made, but failed to keep
Seeing you in the back of my mind causes a new fear
And hearing the song of ours seems to bring a tear.

I cannot regret or go back and undo
Even if I could, I wouldn't want to.
Here I am laying, with you still lingering here
But I wake up to see that you are far from near.

Going on without you, the days start to grow cold and long
I can't keep from wishing I could hear you sing our song
But its time for me to go and leave these thoughts at rest
Smile and turn away, looking back only to wish you the best.
