I lie awake at night and all I do is toss and turn
The more I live the more I wonder why I never learn
I try and travel, I’m no good at getting over you
I stare your empty pillow down until the teardrops fall
I turn my back so I don’t think of you and face the wall,
but I see your picture hanging there it breaks my heart in two
Your every memory just brings me misery
I’m barely getting by ever since you said goodbye
Anywhere anytime, its all I ever do
Everyday that I die, I always think of you
Everyday every night, its like this lonely room
Its an everlasting rain, nothing seems to stop this pain
Anywhere anytime, its all I ever do
Everyday that I die, I always think of you
Everyday every night, its like this lonely room
Anywhere anytime, its all I ever do
Everyday that I die, I always think of you
Everyday every night, its like this lonely room
Its an everlasting rain, nothing seems to stop this pain
