Dream

Another broken night seeing your face
In unexpected places
When will I learn, there is no escape
Until your love is laid to rest
I wake in tears again
The third night this week
And is it just me or do these sheets
Remind me of your touch
Why does it hurt so much
When are these memories
Ever gonna leave me alone

Why do I still dream about you
Why isn’t my life complete without you
When will it be over this lingering despair
Why do I still try to catch your eye
What do I think has changed
Since you said goodbye
Why can’t I get you off my mind
What is it gonna take to leave you behind

However hard I try
Try to forget
When I least expect it you’re back again
You take me off-guard
You speak to my heart
Exactly like you used to do
You catch me unawares
Take me up in your arms
Sometimes you’re too far
And it drives me mad
I dream the way I feel
And though it isn’t real
I wake up lonely
And I miss you more than I ever have

Why do I still dream about you
Why isn’t my life complete without you
When will it be over this lingering despair
Why do I still try to catch your eye
What do I think has changed
Since you said goodbye
Why can’t I get you off my mind
What is it gonna take to leave you behind

It’s been years since I saw your face in real life
How can I explain all the silent tears that I’ve cried
And yet I’m awake in the darkness wondering why
I still see you in the night

Why do I still dream about you
Why isn’t my life complete without you
When will it be over this lingering despair
Why do I still try to catch your eye
What do I think has changed
Since you said goodbye
Why can’t I get you off my mind
What is it gonna take to leave you behind
