Baby I'm trying to hold on.
I'm really trying to be strong.
You wouldn't know it
from the tears streaming
down my face.
I can't help it.
I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
Welcome to another day in paradise.
It was built for two
but only houses one.
Missing you ain't no fun.
In fact it's killing me
so
softly.
You're in the air I breathe.
I can feel blood in my body,
I can feel my heartbeat,
anything else I feel doesn't seem
quite real. It scares me.
The night comes and I go
soul searching.
I come up empty.
Did you take my soul
with you when you walked
out on me?
No drugs seem to dull the pain.
Alcohol keeps me sane.
Thoughts of you destroy me.
Rain falls, I can hear it
against my window.
I can hear your voice too.
Takes me a moment to realize
it was all in my head,
you're not here in this
bed. You're on the
other side of the world
from me. I don't understand
why I don't hate you, but
still have love for you
in my broken heart.
In my broken heart.
