Routine

Placed your picture on my pillow,
 to have you beside me
opened up the window,
 to look out to see
Sprayed your favorite perfume,
 all around the bedroom
This is my daily routine,
 since you set me free

I walk all the same streets,
 where we walked all the time
I call out sometimes
 cause you're still on my mind
And when I look in the mirror,
 my tears start to flow
This is my daily routine,
 since you set me free

I still drink at  bars,
 where you liked to drink
I Sit in dark corners,
 listen to your favorite rock stars
Don’t know if I can go on,
 without breaking down
This is my daily routine,
 since you set me free

Now my days are beginning,
 to catch up with me
I finally started seeing,
 that you set me free
Gotta open my eyes,
 gotta go on my own way
Gotta start a new routine,
 since you set me free
