All the things I have now
I would trade for what I once had

Every thought I think now
Finds it's way back to you

My fantasies of what might be
Are monochrome to my dreams of us

The hours pass a little bit slower now
Even time does not want to go on without you

The sun shines less brightly today
Now I understand how moons are made
They are a sun suffering from your departure

Sleep comes slower at night
My mind hasn't let go of you yet

Most of my time is spent in the kitchen
Closer to the phone, fewer pictures of you

Candles burn a little bit cooler than before
Not being reflected in your eyes

Philosophies run out of questions
The glass is positively half empty

The sky is a much deeper blue
It must be the evaporation of all my tears

Comedians stopped being funny
It's not the same with only one person laughing

Smiling takes too much effort now
I have surrendered to a state of melancholy

The past is where I'd rather be
Not here, facing a future without you
