I'll lay here in his arms wrapped tight
But you'll be in my dreams tonight.
You'll remind me how it used to be
But he'll be the one who's holding me.
You told me to find someone new
And I have nothing left with you
So why do you still have my heart
When someone else will play your part?
He stands beside me in your place
With his arms open for embrace
But my broken heart still bares a crack
Can he feel me holding back?
I drift off to sleep so we can meet
Where you still sweep me off my feet.
Does he feel my heart slip past
The love he swears will always last?
You're still the only one I see
I wish you were here still loving me.
But he is here and you are gone
Though I won't see him till the dawn.
It's then that I'll put on a smile
But I'll be missing you for all the while
He'll show me love the whole day through
But tonight in dreams I'll belong to you.
Don't think that this will always be
I'll let you go like you let me.
Then one day he will fill the void
In this empty heart that you destroyed.
For now I'll keep it locked inside
Where the ghost of us is safe to hide.
I'll still be yours all through the night
But he'll think I'm his come morning light.
Alone I lay staring at the wall
I never thought you'd let me fall
Your hands so strong were there for me
And I fell in love so recklessly.
You were my shelter when I had to run
I never thought the end would come
Your inviting smile seemed genuine
I thought you'd be my dearest friend
I placed my hopes and dreams on you
But time went by and days ran few
I soon realized my greatest fears
Now I'm left drowning in my tears.
You left me like it never mattered
The pieces of my heart are scattered
I'm barely living day to day
How long must I go on this way?
I've lost my love and my best friend
When will this pain come to an end?
It's a nightmare from which I can not wake
Why can't you see it's a mistake?
Love's not something to leave behind
What can I do to change your mind?
Dear God please say there's one more try
I can't bring myself to say goodbye.
When you lay down at night
do you think of me at all?
Do you start to close your eyes
but awaken to my call?
Do you find yourself restless
left staring up at space
Do you let your mind wonder
If someone else is in your place?
Do your hands begin to tremble
Does your heart fall to the floor?
Are you afraid I'll let go
and not love you anymore?
Do you wonder what I'm doing,
If I'm with someone new
Are you jealous when you think
That I'm loving him instead of you?
Maybe you are peaceful
But I am not at ease
For these things that I speak of
are the emotions haunting me.
I remember everything
From the moment we first met
It's etched inside my aching heart
All the things I can't forget.
I remember how you stood there
And I couldn't help but see
The man that I belonged with
Was standing there in front of me
I remember I was so surprised
You hadn't even spoke your name
And I was hopelessly in love
I knew I'd never be the same.
I remember when I found out
That you felt something for me too
The butterflies welled up inside
I couldn't believe that it was true.
I remember the first time
You welcomed me inside
I was thrilled and I was nervous
It was nothing I could hide.
I remember your first touch
It penetrated to my soul
And I knew I had finally found
The half that made me whole.
I remember our first kiss
It made my knees go weak
I'd never known such power
It left me unable to speak.
I remember when we made love
Sometimes romance, sometimes play
I never stopped wanting you
I craved you every day.
I remember when you held me
You said I was your girl
And you said that you loved me
More than all else in the world.
I remember when you left me
My whole world was ripped away
And now all that's left to save me
Are the dreams of yesterday.
I feel so confused
Please help me understand
Why tell me that you miss me
And then withdraw your hand?
I'm hurting deep inside
Please explain this to my heart
Why did you let me fall
If you didn't want me from the start?
None of this makes sense
Please help me come to see
Why tell me I'm the one you love
But we weren't meant to be?
I don't know what to do
Please tell me so I know
Do you want me to hold on to us
Or should I let you go?
I'm hearing things about you
Please say that it's not true
Are you really all alone at night
Or are you loving someone new?
I feel the truth is hidden
Please prove that I am wrong
Come back and show me your love
If I've had it all along.
I can't go on like this
Please end my misery
Either let me go for all time
Or come here and rescue me.
Twelve hundred miles away
And I'm still in love with you.
I would follow you around the world
If you said you want me to.
Twelve hundred miles away
And I still can feel you here.
To know you're gone forever
Is the only thing I fear.
Twelve hundred miles away
And still I smell your scent
I wish you would come back to me
How I wonder why you went...
Twelve hundred miles away
And you still get to me.
Every time I look around this place
You're the only face I see.
Twelve hundred miles away
Why have you chosen her?
No other love will last as long
As my love will endure.
