Here I lie down so blue on so sleepless a night,
As I can't fall asleep as I turn out the light;
For the sole thing I thought as you slipped out of sight
Was the time I was missing with you.

I remember me watching you walking away,
And forgetting the words that I wanted to say.
I tried thinking of something to tell you each day,
When a simple "I miss you" would do.

But each time that I see you, the words just won't come,
And I just utter nonsense and sound like I'm dumb.
And my hands start to shake, and my fingers get numb,
And I walk away feeling ashamed.

But I want to embrace you and tell you I care;
That my heart wants to break when I'm here and you're there,
And that seeing you leave is a thought I can't bear,
For I'd only have myself to blame.
