you lay there in the dark
the hands on the clock ticking by
it'll be morning soon
no you're not going to get
any sleep tonight
'cause you can't stop thinking
can't keep your mind from wandering
going back to better days
and you wonder why
you still feel this pain
even though it was long ago
it still seems like yesterday
that you didn't know
it was gonna turn out this way

and you wish that you could show
somehow let her know
that even though she's over you
your love for her still holds true
and after your life has come and gone
no matter how far you drift apart
she'll always have
a place in your heart
but the time has come
to let the pain go
she's found somebody new
somebody that can give to her
everything that you promised to
and she seems so much happier
living her life without you

laying there in the dark
the hands on the clock ticking by
it'll be morning soon
better close your eyes
need to get some sleep tonight
tomorrow's a new day
and you never know
what life might throw your way
