Lyrics

I lay awake in our bed

And right now you’re not here with me

The baby won’t stop her crying

right now you’re not here with me

I got a hole inside

I got a pain the size of

Ten thousand tons pulling me down

Can’t sleep at night

‘Cause there’s a tear inside my heart

Where your heart used to be

I used to laugh in your arms

What gave you any right to do

What you did to me?

What gave you any right to leave

Our precious little girl?

I cannot stop my hands from shaking

‘Cause right now you’re not here with me

I cannot stop my mind from breaking

And right now you’re not here with me

I think I’m gonna fall

I don’t know how much longer

I can take this pain with me

And now you’re on the phone

You think that you can clean your mess

With all your pleasantries

I used to laugh in your arms

What gave you any right to do

What you did to me?

What gave you any right to leave

Our little baby?

you can speak but you can’t hide

‘Cause I know who you are inside

You might think you can run from me

But you can’t escape yourself

Ah...

Ah...

You kept me going like a fool, didn’t you?

You had everyone fooled, too.

Maybe I was blind to see

Maybe you’re too hard to read

Maybe I was wrong to think that we could walk the mile

Maybe I just wanna scream

Maybe you’re not who you seem

Maybe we’re not meant to be in each other’s arms

What gave you any right to do

What you did to me?

What gave you any right to leave

Our little baby?

‘Cause you can speak but you can’t hide

‘Cause I know who you are inside

You might think you can run from me

But you’ll never escape you
