Another day goes by- And I'm stuck with you on my mind,
Lately, you're all I seem to think about- It's so hard to pass the time.
It's been a while since we talked- It's kind of my fault too,
But how do I remain just a friend- When I'm so in love with you?
When I wake up in the morning- When I go to sleep at night,
And every moment in between- It's thoughts of you that I fight.
Trying to convince myself- That I'm O.K. with us being over,
But everyday I get more lonely- And every night gets colder.
Every memory becomes more vivid- Every thought gets more intense,
Christmas day was the last time I saw you- And you're all I've thought of since.
I remember it like yesterday- And it burns more every minute,
Because every thought, every memory- Every dream I have, you're in it.
Just when I think- That I'm beginning to move on,
I get weak again- And I realize all over that you're gone.
And I start to think back to all the good times that we shared,
Then I think of now- And how it seems you don't even care.
They say that real men do not cry- Well I guess I'm not a man,
Because as I write this the tears are strolling- And the pain is hurting so bad.
I've been lost since the day you left- And I don't know what to do,
Because I've been needing and I've been wanting- And I've been stuck here missing you.
