Bed's too big without you The cold wind blows right through that open door I can't sleep with your memory Dreaming dreams of what used to be When she left I was cold inside That look on my face was just pride No regrets, no love, no tears Living on my own was the least of my fears Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you, ow Since that day when you'd gone Just had to carry on I get through day, but late at night Made love to my pillow, but it didn't feel right Every day, just the same Old rules for the same old game All I gained was heartache All I made was one mistake Now the bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you, ow Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you Without you, pew The bed's too big without you Cold wind blows right through that open door
