I lie here each night alone in my bed

Just me and the dark and the thoughts in my head

I know where you are, that you’re not alone

While I lie here awake all on my own

I wish I could say I don’t give a damn

But I miss you each moment with all that I am

Each fibre of my being yearns for your touch

For a kiss from the lips that I love so much

I wish I could tell you the hurt that I feel

The heartache inside that just will not heal

It’s said that more time will dull any pain

But these wounds that I have burn again and again

I turn off the tv, switch off the light

And my demons appear to me out of the night

There is no escape, there’s no place I can hide

For these demons I carry deep down inside

And they know how to hurt me, they know what to say

To start the tears flowing, my mind start to fray

They show me your picture and sing me your song

And stomp on my heart as they go along

They never show mercy or allow me to rest

Just scramble the wits that I once possessed

Then daylight arises and brings a new day

And I put on the mask that says I’m ok

I’m tired, so tired, through every day

I wish you were here to chase my demons away

I walk in the world now, dreading the night

Knowing my hardship continues tonight
