Every morning I try to wash
away my dreams of you
Before they turn my day to
mush and turn my mind to goo
But, you pop into my sleep
at times when I least expect you to
Every day, like a month
Every month, like a year
Every moment a lifetime
When you're not here
Every second, a minute
Every minute, a day
Every day lasts forever
Since you went away
Every face a reminder
Every laugh sounds insane
Every trace of our time
Just a fading refrain
Come back to me just to see
If all that was, was meant to be
If all that pain was worth the risk
If all those promises can just be kissed away
with yesterday
"tear drops made of lead
like mercury from her
strings"
with a world so quiet and
dead
she takes what the night
brings
the shadows made of mist
the curtain soaking wet
given time to shake its
fist
at a life without a net
forget about you less each
day
forget about me, you would say
life goes on, we live our own
someone sits and waits beside a phone alone
another day
closing eyes and see a face
familiar but so hard to
place
mind plays tricks with
inner space
hard to know what to
replace
there was a time when tears
came quick
and heartache burned and
made you sick
it sometimes just forgot to
tick
to beat, to feel, to pump,
to click
