Verse 1
Wish I could chase you from my mind.
No matter what I do I find,
You're right there in my every thought.
Wish I was over you, but I'm not.
My arms still long for your embrace,
And my eyes still imagine your face.
I can't remember how long it's been,
But I'm needin' you here once again.
Chorus
Can't recall how many tears I've cried,
When I wake and you're not by my side.
I reach for you, but the bed is cold,
'Cause you ain't there for me to hold.
The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is somehow gettin' over you.
It's near impossible, I'm aware,
’Cause it seems like you’re always there.
Verse 2
I found your shirt in the laundry pile,
I've passed it over for quite a while.
I hear your voice in an empty room,
Then turn around, and it’s gone too soon.
I passed by the place where we first met,
Thought of stoppin' in, but I can't yet.
I tell myself I should let you go,
But I ain’t ready for that, I know.
Chorus
Can't recall how many tears I've cried,
When I wake and you're not by my side.
I reach for you, but the bed is cold,
'Cause you ain't there for me to hold.
The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is somehow gettin' over you.
It's near impossible, I'm aware,
’Cause it seems like you’re always there.
Bridge
Maybe someday it won’t feel so hard,
And I'll move on, even though I'm scarred.
I’ll wake up and you won’t be there,
And for once,
I won’t even care.
Chorus
Can't recall how many tears I've cried,
When I wake and you're not by my side.
I reach for you, but the bed is cold,
'Cause you ain't there for me to hold.
The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is somehow gettin' over you.
It's near impossible, I'm aware,
’Cause it seems like you’re always there.
