On days like these

On days like these, those times we dread

when pulling sheets above my head

and holding you before you go

my heart dying, but I'll lie low

Days where we don't want to move

something we've gained we have to lose

And we hurt and suffer yet again

I hope we don't need to get used to the pain.



On days like these, the ones I hate

since the beginning, too long in wait

Eleven long months leave just one week

to tell you I love you, those words to speak

it isn't enough, it won't ever be

but when you leave, it's harder to see,

you walked away crying to catch that plane

and I sat there weeping, out in the rain,



On days like these, the ones we fear

keeping us waiting until the next year

to say our goodbyes and lose all touch

never to realise that we'll miss it that much

until it's all gone, all out of sight

I will hold on, with all of my might,

So that someday, we'll set the frame

no more leaving, just us whole again.
