I hear you walking across the floor
I think that I'm dreaming
'Til I hear you shut the door
I wake up crying and calling your name
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same

The same old sun comes up to shine
On this old bed at the same old time
I tell myself the same old lie
I've got you off my mind

I feel your body lyin' next to mine
I reach out in the darkness
But you're not there for me to find
There's only sorrow followed by pain
Nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same

I see your sweet lips softly kiss me goodbye
I taste the salt of my teardrops 
As they fall down from my eyes
I take a deep breath
But it's only in vain
'Cause nothing's changed here without you
I start every day the same
I start every day the same
