Days pass by and my eyes stay dry, and I think that I'm okay'Til I find myself in conversation, fading awayThe way you smile, the way you walkThe time you took to teach me all that you had taughtTell me, how am I supposed to move on?These days I'm becoming everything that I hateWishing you were around but now it's too lateMy mind is a place that I can't escape your ghostSometimes I wish that I could wish it all awayOne more rainy day without youSometimes I wish that I could see you one more dayOne more rainy dayOh, I'm a wreck without you hereYeah, I'm a wreck since you've been goneI've tried to put this all behind meI think I was wrecked all alongYeah, I'm a wreckThey say that the time will heal it, the pain will go awayBut everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in wavesWay you laugh when your shoulders shookThe time you took to teach me all that you had taughtTell me, how am I supposed to move on?These days I'm becoming everything that I hateWishing you were around but now it's too lateMy mind is a place that I can't escape your ghostSometimes I wish that I could wish it all awayOne more rainy day without youSometimes I wish that I could see you one more dayOne more rainy dayOh, I'm a wreck without you hereYeah, I'm a wreck since you've been goneI've tried to put this all behind meI think I was wrecked all alongThese days when I'm on the brink of the edgeRemember the words that you saidRemember the life you ledYou'd say, "Oh, suck it all up, don't get stuck in the mudThinkin' of things that you should have done"I'll see you again, my loved oneI'll see you again, my loved oneYeah, I'm a wreckI'll see you again, my loved oneYeah, I'm a wreck without you here (loved one)Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone (I'm a wreck since you've been gone)I've tried to put this all behind meI think I was wrecked all along (I'm a wreck)Yeah, I'm a wreckSometimes I wish that I could wish it all away but I can'tOne more rainy day without you (one more rainy day)Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day but I can'tOne more rainy day

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save meThis all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazyI need somebody to healSomebody to knowSomebody to haveSomebody to holdIt's easy to sayBut it's never the sameI guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the painNow the day bleedsInto nightfallAnd you're not hereTo get me through it allI let my guard downAnd then you pulled the rugI was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedI'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn toThis all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without youNow, I need somebody to knowSomebody to healSomebody to haveJust to know how it feelsIt's easy to say but it's never the sameI guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escapeNow the day bleedsInto nightfallAnd you're not hereTo get me through it allI let my guard downAnd then you pulled the rugI was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedAnd I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimesI fall into your armsI'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back aroundFor now the day bleedsInto nightfallAnd you're not hereTo get me through it allI let my guard downAnd then you pulled the rugI was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedBut now the day bleedsInto nightfallAnd you're not hereTo get me through it allI let my guard downAnd then you pulled the rugI was getting kinda used to being someone you lovedI let my guard downAnd then you pulled the rugI was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
Sometimes, music helps. Sometimes, hearing someone else share the pain of loss through words and notes makes one feel a tad less alone. It's like grief and widowhood in general: you cannot predict what will touch you, move you, or even make you cry when it comes on the car radio.
I promise to be more pithy, sarcastic, and generally upbeat (?) next week.
