Living Life Apart

Last night I dreamed of you 
I held you close against me 
I knew the second I woke up 
You would become a memory 

Why does my mind play tricks
That sadden and deceive me 
It's as though my mind is trying 
To purposely lead me to misery 

I wish you could come home 
But that's not an option anymore 
With all that's been said and done 
It's impossible to even the score 

I'm unaware of what's to follow 
On this journey to heal my heart 
I don't believe anything will dull 
The pain of us living life apart
