I woke up today thinking of you

I woke with a smile and tears in my eyes, too

The dream my memories gave to me

reminded me of the way I always thought it could be

.

You've been gone for years now, but my memories won't let you go

Somewhere inside, my heart calls out, but you're so long gone, I know

If only I could forget you, I'd ease this pain inside

I could stop wondering about you, stop hoping in this time I bide

.

You were once my all, but now I just wish to leave you behind

Still, I know I can't, your face won't leave my mind

You fed me false promises, then left me without a goodbye

If I had some answers, but no, they're all a lie

.

I curse these dreams as I hold them dear

I long to forget your face, yet it's my greatest fear

My arms long to hold you

But I know you must have found someone new

.

I saw your face again last night

I felt your arms around me, but you faded in the morning light

My happiness evaporated, my smile turned upside down

So I lay my head back on the pillow and wait until you come around
