Every night,
Every night
I think about you
During the day, you go away
But at night you're always on my mind
And I'm wondering if I will ever find
A cure to you
A cure to this
Because I know it doesn't make sense
But I can't seem to come to my sense-
-es
And I'm feeling dense
Cause I can't seem to learn
That you don't want me
I'm the only one yearn-
-ing
I'm the only one hurting
Alone, alone
Maybe I'm meant to be alone
Because the people I love are always such assholes
Maybe I'm meant to learn a lesson
But I'm fessin up
I haven't learnt nothing
I keep doing the same thing
I'm sensing a pattern
And I can't get out of this rut
Maybe I ought to just give loving up
I'm trying to
But still, I miss you
And every night,
Every night
You come to me
Inside my dreams
But even there you're not with me
And I know there'll never be a "we"
Again
Cause even in my dreams I'm just looking in
I'm just watchin'
My memory of you is fading
Though I try to hold on
Preserve you with poems and songs
But I forget easily
How much of this is memory
And how much is fabricated
I know for a while that I hated you
But even though you've caused some lasting issues
That didn't last long
I'm back to writing songs
And sometimes, I wish you could see them
And other times I'm glad you can't
And sometimes I want to speak to you
And other times I'm glad that's something I can't do
So I wait for the night
To think about you
I wait for the night
For your ghost to return
And lay beside me
I'll lay beside you
In my mind's eye
This isn't goodbye
Just farewell for now
In the future we'd make it work somehow
In my mind's eye
Every night
