Why can't life be the way it was
Together, you and me
Instead I wait for each night so I can close my eyes
And you can visit me in dreams
Seeming realistic and knowing I'll see
Saturated pillows when I awake for the dawn
Remembering the nights when he held me close
But they're memories, those nights are gone
I've done wrong and apologized
So what more can I do
I can't mope around, sitting in my tears
And keep crying out to be held by you
You are my first, the chosen one
That's why it's hard to part from you
With tear-filled eyes and a broken heart
I remember the things that we used to do
I still remember how things used to be
Overlooking those times you couldn't talk
You always wanted your distance
It was your way or you would walk
I never would have grew so close
I introduced you to my entire life
The people I love, my heartaches
Now I sit here hating these lonely nights
I see the type of man you have become
Bringing up my wrongs done in our past love
I'll always love you, it's hard to let go
Of what used to be, of our was
Still life can't be the way it was
Together you and me
So I'll just wait for each night so I can close my eyes
And you can love me back in dreams
