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
