Each Dying Day

I've been through darkness
She's my loyal friend
I've been through darkness
Will I see her again
When I hear her voice calling
I view her beautiful face
Oh it shakes me afraid
Because she takes me away

She's wrapped like a present
But her presence unknown
She keeps on calling
But I won't answer the phone
She weeps out her message
But forever she'll wait
To give me her love
I won't live with the pain

Baby I tried to find you
I looked everywhere
When I opened my heart
And you didn't care
Baby I loved you
Each dying day
Baby I love you
But I'm not dying today

Being with you
Seemed like a dream
So I pushed on ahead
A full head of steam
Being with you
Was daring with lust
I'm fairing with death
I'm wearing your cuffs

Now that I know
What loving you means
It's a means to the end
You've ruined my dreams
Now that I know
It's safe to let go
I can find that place
That I've never known

Baby I tried to find you
I looked everywhere
When I opened my heart
And you didn't care
Baby I loved you
Each dying day
Baby I love you
But I'm not dying today

Baby I tried to find you
I looked everywhere
When I opened my heart
And you didn't care
Baby I loved you
Each dying day
Baby I love you
But I'm not dying today.

Really good words James. I really like the "baby I love you, each dying day, baby i love you, but i'm not dying today" Really rings true of being addicted to someone, or something even. Thanks for sharing.
