lyrics

I read your letters yesterday, we used to have so much to say
Now it seems we never talk at all
The picture hanging on the wall, your coat still standing in the hall
Memories of you linger on in this empty house
Since the day you went away, these things you should know

That I can’t stop thinking about you, and I can’t stop wasting all my days
You know I built up my whole life around you
And my heart is getting deeper down these days
Yes my heart is getting deeper down these days
Without you around, without you

It's hard to say what I should to you, I could write you a letter but I know I won't
Funny thing is I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
I could say so many things to you, sing you all these lies so convincing and true
I can't stand that I hurt you so much and it's hurting me too
I feel empty inside myself for what I did to you

And I can’t stop thinking about you, and I can’t stop wasting all my days
You know I built up my whole life around you
And my heart is getting deeper down these days
Yes my heart is getting deeper down these days
Without you around, without you

And the clock ticks away the hours and the hours turn to days
I contemplate this situation in many ways
And if I'm being true to myself in the eyes of someone else
And this chapter of my life has come and gone
So why do I find it so damn hard to move on
Since the day you chose to leave, you should know

That I can’t stop thinking about you, and I can’t stop wasting all my days
You know I built up my whole life around you
And my heart is getting deeper down these days
Yes my heart is getting deeper down these days
Without you around, without you
