Without You

Someone close dies. How do you go on?
Not long ago
I was alone
Without you
And now I'm here

Most sincere
That I've lost you
Your going down
Beneath the ground

What have i done
Have I lost?
Have I won?
Have I enjoyed the fun?

What's the word
On my tongue
Does it ring any bell?
I don't know
If I should
Confess and tell

The days that I lie awake
Waiting to see
If you would come back
Happily

But the facts are
Your no longer here
And the lies that
Started all the tears

And I know that
I should be able to cope
But it's hard going up the rope
Without you

There is no air
And now I
Seem to just compare
You to yesterday

And again
Here I sit
All Alone
No one here

No one to call
My own
I feel
As if I

Should give up
But would that
Anger you

If I leave
Would your spirit follow me?
And if I stayed
Would you try to haunt me?

But the facts are
Your no longer here
And the lies that
Started all the tears

And I know that
I should be able to cope
but it's hard going up the rope
Without you

There is no air
And now I
Seem to just compare
You to yesterday

I may be in a world without you
But I'll keep on trucking
Like we used to
I may be in a world without you
But I'll keep on trucking
Like we used to

I feel alone in this world without you
