~*Living life after you*~ Blue~

~Living life after you~

Rain falling outside
Mingle with these tears that I’ve cried
Looking out the window
Where our roses were in bloom
Oh this sorrow I cannot hide

I think about that last Summer
we shared together
Here there are memories
of laughter and the love we once knew
Two years have come and gone
Each step I take….. each day somehow I go on
But Sometimes I get a little crazy, baby…living this life without you



When this sadness overwhelms me
I feel like I just don’t belong
Living without you
It has got to be the biggest heartache I’ve known
Am I just going through the motions
All this time on my hands
Every where I look
They’re just reminders of you

All those Places we wanted to go
Things to do
Looking around me now---- so much left undone
----not even one
Among those promises un-kept… are broken dreams
Those plans
Sometimes I really wonder
Just how much a heart can stand

This pain like a dagger
Drove through and through
will it ever end
Can a heart that’s so broken into
A hard act to follow…… can you just start over
Begin anew
Sometimes I get a little crazy baby… living this life after you

Ms. Maudie down at the grocery store
Said hon how’ve you been
I’ve not seen you in a while
Around this place
We’ve missed your smile


I know time cannot erase the love
She said child
I know it’s not easy…….for a heart so blue
But don’t you think
it’s time you start thinking about you

At times like this when I’m all alone
When there’s no one else around
I go to a place where I can’t be found
And once again…..I take your picture down
From our dresser


And oh how the tears begin to fall
There’s just Your memory and me
You’ll go walking through my mind
Nothing else will matter at all

I think of all the good we had together
Even the bad too
I know that’s it’s over

You left me here surrounded by your memory
And all these things
Sadness they bring
……. and for a while
These tears start
Like the cold, cold rain they fall
Shadows across the doorway
A note on the table says I love you


The reality
It’s the part my heart cannot believe
is knowing
Your not coming back any more
And I’ll go on without you by my side
Like these million tears I’ve cried
Forever I know it’s a long time………
losing you has got to be the biggest heartache
living this life after you
