I see you in my sleep
Standing right next to me
I'm haunted by the fact
That you're just a memory
You went too fast off this Earth
We both said things we didn't mean
Now it's too late for our rebirth
Who knows what we could've seen
Every day I carry the weight
Of not having you around
I just want to say things are great
And I sink into the ground
So much has changed since you went away
You know I finally moved back home
There's so much I'd like to say
But I faced all of this alone
I see you in my sleep
Standing right next to me
I'm haunted by the fact
That you're just a memory
What I wouldn't give to have you see
I'm on the stage, with the songs I sang
To you each night, face filled with glee
As my guitar just rang and rang
With each new day, I start to lose
Just what your smile looked like
I can get by with the booze
But that won't bring you back to life
As I walk down the street
Surrounded by the bright lights
I wish you were next to me
Or even just alive
And in the night, I hear your voice
It makes me think you've come back
You would have if I had my choice
But then you just fade to black
I see you in my sleep
Standing right next to me
I'm haunted by the fact
That you're just a memory
