Realize

Wake up in the morning realizing you're not lying next to me
Stumble out of bed trying to focus, my effort's no use
It slowly dawn on me, a truth I don't want to see
when my dream starts to fade away
How could I explain the emptiness that craves you there
the reason I can't let go

There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
I know you try and I wish you could
I finally realized that I can't forget
I just can't forget

Getting through each day with a shadow hovering over me
Threatening to break me, make me fall down on my knees
That shadow keeps you near, it follows me everywhere
Finding memories of you everywhere I look
The thoughts that I keep away manage to find their way
back into the focus of my mind

There's nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
I know you try and I wish you could
I finally realized that I can't forget
I just can't forget

The touch of you in my dreams burns my skin
The memories of your voice too real
Don't want to wake up to another day of emptiness abscent to the world

There will always be a special place for you
That vacant room waiting for you
This is a truth that can't be changed
no matter how many times you tell me goodbye
I finally realized that I can't forget
I just can't forget
I can't forget
It's time you realize this too
