You Tomorrow


Wake up

Someone wake me up

This nightmare

Can't be happening

You've got to be here

But even though

I sense you everywhere

You're nowhere

To be found

It's been awhile

And I still can't figure out

How I keep getting up

Out of this bed

How I manage

To get the words out

When everything feels cold

Slammed shut

Nothing's been right

Since you left

 

I keep telling myself

I'm okay

Better off

But I know better

I know I'm wrong

So wrong

Haven't been okay

Since you've been gone

I was wrong

When I said

I didn't need you

I was so wrong

When I swore

I could be strong

Without your arms

So come home

If you get this message

If you're tired of being alone

If you miss it too

If you're dying 

Just trying

To hold it together

Come home

SIlence this pain forever

It doesn't have to be this way

 

If I can't have you back

I know

It's my own fault

I made it worse

Make more of a mess

But I swear

I tried my best

Gave it all I had

I swore I was getting better

Now I can't hold myself upright

Now I'm falling apart

You walked away

With my heart

Curled in your hands

I knew better

I still know better

I know it's you

Only you

And it will be you

Tomorrow
