You'Re Not Dead

Your image dances in my head 
Each night you climb into my bed 
We have no dreams – we never sleep 
Eternity is ours to keep 

Your lips are cold – your breath is still 
You understand the way I feel 
We share our thoughts – we laugh and cry 
Together we can never die 

They say you’ve gone – but can’t they see 
You’re always right here next to me 
They say I’m mad – but that’s because 
They only see what never was 

The empty spaces fill the page 
Their anti-stares fill me with rage 
What do they know – why should I care 
I feel your glow – you’re always there 

You’re with me every single day 
I need you now – you're here to stay 
We shared our lives – You own my soul 
Together we have paid the toll

We no longer sit and count the days 
Coz time is just a passing phase 
Your stone forever stays unread
You'll always live inside my head.
