It's been a week and
a day
And I've lived a lifetime since I last saw you
Some days have been
empty, some full
But I've lived them all
I thought I was alive in your
arms
But I was sleeping, sweetly dreaming
And now that I'm alone, that I'm
back in my skin
I know it stretched when you were in it
And I'm having
trouble filling it on my own
But I know that I'll find what I need with my
eyes open
And not shut tight, hiding under the bed
Fearing the monsters
that pray on broken hearts
I don't
I only fear my memories, they lie
because they are full of doubts and changing views
Did you ever love me? were
you thinking of her while I held on tight to you?
Maybe the reality is that
I could never call what we did making love
Because you were never very good
at it together
It was simply sex
It's been a week and a day
And I see
the world more clearly now
