Without You

You gave me love
And took away my pain
You made me feel normal
Then you took my sanity
You took my heart
Yet it is you who are heartless
You made me whole
Then left me empty
I ached to talk to you
But your words tore me apart

With you in my life
I was everything
But without you
Without you...

Your smile was a sun
Brightening and warming my world
But every day ends in a dark lonely night
Every summer, in a cold unforgiving winter
Where you walked, flowers grew
But even the most beautiful flower
Left untended, will wilt and die
Leaving only barren earth
You brought out the best in me
But when you left
You left me with nothing

With you in my life
I was everything
But without you
Without you...

Because of you
I saw who I was
And knew what I could be
Because of you
I forgot who I am
And forgot to care
Because of you
I learned who I wanted to be
How I wanted to be
And how I did not want to be
Because of you
I was alone
Because of you
I found myself

With you in my life
I thought I was everything
But without you
Without you...

Wide Awake

Wide awake
But half asleep
Drinking down my coffee
At half past 3

The caffeine works on my nerves
Yet isn’t enough to keep them at bay
The dark dreams
And happy nightmares

Cold and unsure
But with a smile on my face
I close my eyes
And wait for tomorrow

The sun rises
Like it always does
Blotting out any trace
Of yesterday

I stumble out of this room
Out of the comforting darkness
Break through the chains of regret
And into the morning

Wide awake
But half asleep
Stunned by the daylight
Hypnotized by farewell
