Up before the morning sun
Trying to wrap my head around another day
What used to be a favorite song
Comes on through the background noise
I have to skip ahead because it makes me think of her
And the last thing that I need right now
Is to get lost in little reminderd
Of what’s left me in the year gone by
Especially when I’m facing another endless day
Then head off to put in hours
Thankless jobs for thankless people
Pressing though monotony of motion
Something sparks my memory
And suddenly I see her face
My reminder of what used to help me though
Then go home to emptiness
Wasted time and wasteful ways
I was supposed to break away
I was supposed to save her
And in the effort save myself
But I guess she didn’t need saving after all
So here I am another pointless day
Time to rest but still I’m sleepless
Another thought of her I can’t escape
On and on the endless repeat
Break the silence with more quiet
Nothing ever changes in my world
I just hope out there somewhere
She’s not suffering like I am
May she not make the same mistakes I’ve made
One more day and here we go again
