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.
