The Problem

I’ve tried to get you out of my head
Only realized the truth when you were gone instead
I'm an idiot, didn’t see what was true
Pushed you away with my ways, didn’t have a clue

I ask myself every single day
When will I find peace, in this endless fray?
With you here by my side, that’s where I long to be
But now the silence echoes, it’s just you and me

Every night you invade my dreams
On these cold nights, loneliness screams
Reliving moments, oh, I feel the pain
This isn’t right, can’t I break these chains?

What can I do? It’s tearing me apart
The more I speak, the more I push you from my heart
My sky has stars that shine in your smile
But without you here, I'm lost for a while

Tell me you’ll come back, can’t you see my tears?
Tell me you feel it too, through all these years
In every perfume, I catch a trace
The aroma lingers, I can’t escape this space

This anxiety takes hold, makes me act so wrong
Saying what I shouldn’t, now I'm lost in this song
When I close my eyes, I see your smile
But without you here, it’s been such a trial

What’s the way back? I don’t want to lose you
In every face I see, I find a piece of truth
Do you really know what the problem is?
Love is my problem, and I'm lost in this abyss

This isn’t right, what can I do?
The more I talk, the more I push you
When I close my eyes, I see your smile
But without you here, I feel lost all the while
