Morning After

It’s waking up realizing it wasn’t a dream The open wound in my heart as real as the morning light Body numb beaten by the truth the heart just wouldn’t see Wondering how I’d face today and pretend to be me Wanting to go back to sleep and speed up time But it’s time to put on the face and face my crime For loving someone that can never be mine And I could tell myself a thousand lies Build a wall miles high, read the facts Know wrong from right but to hell with it all I just can’t fight what my soul feels is right And that’s right next to you.
