You know those mornings
You wake up and feel like you got punched in the gut
Eyes puffy from the night before
Suddenly the memory comes rushing back
And overtakes you
The pain makes you curl in a ball
And there’s nothing to do
But stay in bed
And sleep the day away
To hide from the pain
To forget it
Even just for a moment
That someone else is in the arms
You used to hold me with
My mind races with all the things I can
Do to forget
That you are not coming back
Show him how fast I can move on my brain says
Sleep with someone else
So you can forget him
Prove you don’t need him
But I’ve played that story
I know how it ends
My mind keeps racing
There has to be something
But there’s a hole
In my heart
No matter what I do
It won’t fill it
Because it’s not you
So I find a new way
To make me happy
Without you around
