Last Night's Tears Burn My Pillow...

As I rise each morning with the shining sum
Whilst dawn is present and the day has just begun
I find myself already hoping for tomorrow
While last nights tears burn my pillow…

Rolling over forgetting your no longer there
Pleading to God life is so terribly unfair
How I’ve taken for granted those mornings waking to your face
Pictures an memories of you and I all over the place…
Your not gone forever but a phone call away
But I need you here with me I wish you had stayed
Replaying all our moments and everything you had said
I still haven’t mustered the courage to get out of my bed…
Already realise I\'m destined for a day filled with sorrow
While last nights tears still burn my pillow…

My definition of sorrow is this time without you
Not having your strength to help push me through
I watch the clock tick by upon each hour
I still have to work so I jump up for a shower…
But without you there it’s just not the same
I wish I could have a morning shower with you again
Simple little morning habits like coffee and toast
Helping me pick an outfit, is what I miss most…
Without you I feel so miserable my confidence is so low
While last nights tears burn my pillow…

That lonely drive to work on my in the car
Knowing your presence is so close yet so far
Arriving at my job and setting up for the day
I don’t feel like myself or do things the same way…
Constantly misplacing things and needing to find
Because work is the last thing on my mind
I’m always on edge and prepared to retaliate
Without you with me I can’t seem to concentrate…
I can’t see the point in putting myself through this
No matter what you’re always the one I miss
So lost without you in the darkness of my shadow
While last nights tears burn my pillow…

I make it through the day my emotions I can contain
But just like those tears it burns my pain
Bewildered at how I possibly made it though
Survived another burning day without you…
I find myself back in bed at home
Still on my side but all on my own
Trying to convince myself it will be all right
Struggling to sleep alone each night
Bracing myself to do it all again tomorrow
While last nights tears burn my pillow…
