Day After

i'm working so hard to get you off my mind here i am staring out the window trying to force the clouds to not look like you. if this is letting go then what is holding on? i've got to severe this hold you have on me before it's the end of my love life

the day after you left me i screamed and i cried. i threw your stuff away and i ripped up all the pictures and i tried to burn the happy times up in flames. the day after i said i'm over you i'm still lonely.

i'm dating and dancing at the bars. drinking and eating myself merry,hoping tonight i'll fall in love with this guy named Mark and finally find the man to spend all my nights with for the rest of my life. it's all the hope i have now to believe i can love again.

the day after i sleep with Mark he won't call me. i start wondering why i set myself up for these things. he seemed to be the right guy but when you have such lonely eyes you see what you need and hear what hasn't been said. it's been too long and i need too much too soon. the day after i said i don't care anymore i'm still lonely.

is this how it's going to be, lonely and cold. lonely and old. i don't want to be desparate. the day after tomorrow i'll get out of bed and try to fall in love again. i can't stop trying to find my man.
