When You'Re Not You

When You’re Not You When you’re not you… You do things to hurt me And to make me cry You break my heart And absolutely kill me inside. When you’re not you… You lie to me Run away and disappear You leave me crying and worrying All alone and sitting here. When you’re not you… You always say that you’re sorry But that’s just words that you say They’re empty and hollow Something to take your guilt away. When you’re not you… You don’t know how much pain You really put me through How much I die each time You do what you do. When you’re not you… Absolutely nothing matters You only worry about yourself You don’t care about me Or anybody else. When you’re not you… Everything we’ve worked for crumbles Becomes like dust in the wind Then we have to pick up the pieces And start all over again. When you’re not you… I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to say I don’t know if I should let you go Or if I should stay. When you’re not you… I can’t see the person you are The man I know you can be I can’t see the man that I married That promised he’d always be there for me. When you’re not you… The choices you make Destroy everything in sight Your all I’ll ever want But I don’t know if I can continue to fight. When you’re not you… I don’t know how much longer I can do what I do Or how much longer I can be here ….When you’re not you.
