Every Time

As I wait here
I wait here for you
I see your face
In the mirror
I turn to be greeted by empty space

Every time it’s the same
When I’m looking for you, you’re never there
Every time, I wonder why
Every time I wonder where

I wish upon a million falling stars
That I could see your face again
That you could heal the past and mend my scars
My wishing will never end

I’ve waited years that seem like decades
Waiting so long to hold you again
To look into your pale blue eyes
I kneel and beg towards the sky

Even though I know the truth
I won’t accept it
You’re everything to me
It’s killing me, I hate it

Years from now
I wonder what will change
Will I move on?
Or will I be the same

I look at the black sky
I wonder where
I wonder why

Tears fall from grace
Soaking me in pain
Until the day I find you
I will never be the same
