Not Here

I wake up every day and I smile,
I wake up every day and really I’m not here,
I’m not here and I want to disappear,
I want to stop, I want to stop it all.

Stop the memories, stop the tears, stop the nightmares.

At times I remember my life,
I remember when my life ended,
That day you came to me,
The day you took it all away from me.

It wasn’t yours to take, it wasn’t yours to have,
I want it back what you took,
If you don’t give it back I’m going to her,
Leaving to her soon.

A few more weeks and I will be with you.
Not long and I’m yours again, 
Back where I belong. 
I’m coming back to you my queen.
