No one compares to you

No one compares (to you)

I cry myself to sleep almost every night
since you took my heart away
I try to tell myself... that it's alright
I can live for one more day

Everywhere I go, things remind me of you
the whispers on the breeze,
My sorrow paralyzes, what can I do?
it brings me to my knees

Chorus
There's no solace in my day to day
since you took my heart away
Grief supplants my joy in all I do
'cause no one compares...
no one compares to you


I go alone now to our favorite place
I think of what you'd do
No one else exists, all I see is your face
I don't know what is true


Chorus
There's no solace in my day to day
since you took my heart away
Grief supplants the joy of all I do
'cause no one compares...
no one compares to you

For the prince song contest song inspired by Nothing compares to you

Wow! This was amazing! I can just hear Prince singing YOUR words! I giggled at Tom’s comment but agree you did an awesome fantastic job! You are a great songwriter. Congratulations on your win and thanks for supporting my contest.
