It's Late

It's late and I'm alone.

Music is blaring through my headphones.

None of the words make sense to me. 

Because I keep thinking of what used to be.

How could we let such a good thing go? 

I can't stop looking at the photos.

Time is ticking by.

And I keep asking myself why.

It's late and I'm alone.

It takes all I have to not call you on the phone.
