when love was something else

while she stands there

staring in a mirror

he lays there

sleeping through it all

she cries deep inside

where he can't hear her

and turns to hide the tears

when they fall. the years have only come between them

memories fill the empty time that's left

but it only hurts her more to remember

when love was something else. she combs her hair

then quietly fluffs her pillow

as she lays down

she turns off the light

she collects her thoughts

and listens to the silence

while she lays awake alone again tonight. the years have only come between them

memories fill the empty time that's left

but it only hurts her more to remember

when love was something else. when love was something else.
