This started out as a poem but as items ran into my head I just couldn't let it stop
Another late night long drive home, feeling lonely but I know I’m not alone, I know you’re somewhere close to me for you’re on my mind tonight. I don’t know just where you are but your still in my life.
Blinking away tears I see your face so clear, you must be somewhere near, no more strength here come the tears, can’t get you off my mind tonight
         Tonight I want to be lying by your side, tonight I wish I wasn’t          crying. I hate you but I want you here, your miles away and I’m          thankful for that, but can’t help remembering all we had, all          your lies that tore us apart the torturous way you played with          my heart, get out of my head get out of my life I just want to          sleep tonight
As I lay to close my eyes, again the tears I fight, on a tear stained pillow I lay my head, feeling coldness from your side of the bed, with eyes closed you’re in my sight. This can’t be real, your not here, not by my side, but run and run from myself I can’t hide. My eyes burn, I’m numb inside my soul has died. Yet I know you’re near for you’re on my mind tonight.
         Tonight I want to be lying by your side, tonight I wish I wasn’t          crying. I hate you but I want you here, your miles away and I’m          thankful for that, but can’t help remembering all we had, all          your lies that tore us apart the torturous way you played with          my heart, get out of my head get out of my life I just want to          sleep tonight
Somewhere out there do you close your eyes, deep inside can you feel me cry? Does your heart burn from my tears; do you even remember after all these years? I know we’ve parted; I’m a piece of your past you don’t want to face but just can’t erase. I know it’s real my emptiness inside. The ache, the pain, the falling apart, you don’t want me so release my heart, but no we’re not really apart. As I cry I’ve died inside. I know it’s real, I know you’re there; I feel it all within my tears. As each one falls I know you don’t want me at all, yet you won’t go away.
Closer to me now I can feel your touch, closing my eyes tighter and tighter, tonight I’m no longer a fighter. Feeling you so close to me, please leave my mind tonight. Fighting and fighting deep inside dying
         Tonight I want to be lying by your side, tonight I wish I wasn’t          crying. I hate you but I want you here, your miles away and I’m          thankful for that, but can’t help remembering all we had, all          your lies that tore us apart the torturous way you played with          my heart, get out of my head get out of my life I just want to          sleep tonight
Lying still on tear stained sheets pain and pleasure for you meet…
Get out of my head get out of my life I just want to sleep tonight
