First written in an improvised session, with lyrics that came from late 2013. Finally cemented and fully written about a week into recording this album.
lyrics
You came and you showed me how I’m meant to live my life
But now you’re gone and I’m lonely
You were the one meant to be my wife
You you you told me that I’d never feel this way
But now you’re gone and I’m lonely
And I feel that I’ll never feel the same
My friends they’re all gone
I don’t think I know what to think or who I am
And that sunshine of my life
I don’t think it’s ever gonna rise again
I had a dream in the middle of the night
that we were in love and everything was alright
But when I decided that I had to wake up
I found myself in this nightmare of a breakup
I feel like a skeleton with no bones
Wandering around in this hell of my own
How long does it take for a man to feel okay
I’m like a ghost in my own home
I hang my head, just cry and moan
But I know if you came back to me, I’d never ever have to be
