Without you it feels like I have lost my breath
Wandering about in the valley of death
I try to move on with a smile on my face
Even though these memories I cannot erase
I try to know my place…
I try to hide it, but truth be known
Deep beneath the front I feel so alone
Alone, without you and your embrace
It shows beneath the forced smile on my face
A shadow of my former self I chase….
My heart sighs within as it calls out for you
Seems unfair the road that fate did choose
Seems unfair my best friend I did lose
But I carry on with this smile on my face
A shadow of my former self I chase…
I see you laughing and smiling in my dreams
Oh how I pray to God that it is like that indeed
You, fulfilled, not lacking in any need
So this fake smile on my being I paste
A shadow of my former self I chase….
I hear your soft whisper in the passing breeze
I beg God, carry the message “I love you”, please
To my best friend so her soul may be at ease
Flowers from a hardened ground I put in this vase
A shadow of my former self I chase…
My tears are like rain drops rolling off a hardened cliff
My heart like the frozen ground in winter made stiff
My spirit like sunlight traveling down the ocean’s abyss
I hurt myself again, I feel so unsafe…
A shadow of my former self I chase…
Lost myself again, been here many times before
Traveling to and fro, my soul aches sore
Being where we’re at is truly a shame
The worst of it is I have no one else to blame
A shadow of my former self I chase…
