I can still feel you next to me
while I sleep here alone
I feel your arms around me
even though I feel so cold
how do I go on
how do I set my heart free
how can I be happy
without you here with me
give me a clue
tell me how to start
I can't keep on living
with a brokenheart
and I know you are gone
and that I must carry on
but how do I do that
when Im not where I belong
how do I go on
how do I set my heart free
how can I be happy
without you here with me
I wish I knew
how to get over you
i wish I knew
how to let my love die
but I just keep holding on
when I know I should go
I know that dont love me
that you wont be coming home
I loved you forever
but your love faded away
you were my tears, my heart beat
since that faithful day
when I saw you I knew
I'd never be the same
I gave you my heart,
my everything that day
how do I go on
how do I set my heart free
how can I be happy
without you here with me
give me a clue
tell me how to start
I can't keep on living
with a brokenheart
I dont know why it happened
or when things went so wrong
I've loved you forever
but you moved on
how could things end this way
when there's so much left to say
I've loved you forever
even after you took your love away
how do I go on
how do I set my heart free
how can I be happy
without you here with me
I go on loving you
just like I always did
and when I see you
I hide my pain within
though i wish you could love me
im better off this way
Ill go on smiling
hoping my pain will fade away

YES
We do always hope it will go and just leave never come back or hurt anymore, but little does anyone know we cry special tears under our smiles.

I sang this as I read it and felt the pain that flowed. It's heartbreaking, more then anything

I think you wrote a very good free verse style of lyric. But....
"....brokenheart."
Should be this way "broken heart."

This is dark and passionate...painfully honest.
Well written Mel. How we yearn for those we lose...but ultimately, we are better without them...
Bravo!
