lifeless

today you're here
tomorrow you're gone
then after everything
it'll be another month
simplicity has left us
devotion has stayed
i'm feeling so breathless
completely lifeless
in love i'm pained
in pain i see the light
your bright smile
bringing me back to life
today you left me
tomorrow i'll cry again
then after my tears are spent
i'll miss you more then anything
when you're here i'm breathless
with your eyes gazing upon me
i don't feel so lifeless
until you leave again
my sun can sink a million times
my moon can rise a new
but still deep inside
my heart calls out to you
i'm feeling so useless
so completely incomplete
when i know that you must leave me
i miss the times when we could see each other
everyday seen with each other
so needless to say that i love you
but i say it anyway

in wasted memory
i call to my pain
cause in my pain
i see you again
devotion still burning inside me
everything else always behind me
i try to make believe
that without you i can be happy
my smile will fade in time
when you're gone
and return when you call
in this i can be fortunate
but fortune isn't all
my bliss, ignorant
as i fall further into my hole
i become lifeless
breathless after it all
so needless to repeat it
but i do anyway
i love you tomorrow,
today and forever
somethings will never change
