Everyday, the same torture:
You are missing from me.
How I can live and breathe without,
A cold-case mystery.
I put on my favorite dress.
It's a shame you can't see.
That mellow song you like is on.
That local group, your scene.
I want you laying next to me,
Where you're supposed to be.
I think 'love', just a single word
That sets both of us free.
