My heart breaks as another day passes
With me starring longingly at the phone
I wonder where you are, my love,
Its so lonely here at home
The silence is so eerie and unexpected
The air gets colder every night
My bed feels so empty, baby,
Without you here to hold me tight
One minute theres a smile
The next Im on my knees
Wondering if youre safe now
Knowing that there is no guarantee
You told me youd be careful
But will careful be enough?
I never knew falling for you
Would prove to be so tough
Im lost and misplaced now
Without your eyes to show me the truth
I find it hard to concentrate
My thoughts all turn to you
I keep telling myself it will get easier
Yet each day the pain hurts more
Hoping that youre strong enough
Trained by the United States Marine Corps
I curl up in a blanket each night
And stare at the shining stars
Whispering my endless wishes
Held deep within my heart
I dont know how to sleep, baby,
Im tossing and turning in my bed
Reminiscing on our memories
Wondering how Ill face the days ahead
I dont want to cry anymore
But my tears remind me how much I care
They fall down from my deep browns
As God listens to my prayers
My tears tell me that youre worth it
My tears theyll get me through
Theyll form a river deep in our hearts
To bring my love to you
