I've been lonely, missing your body

You've been out of touch, you're so far away

Wishing you would tell me you're sorry

Close my eyes and try to forget you

Every time I do, I just see your face
And after all this shit that we've been through

Why are you so willing to walk away?

You left me with a craving I can't fill
Em C D
Got me wondering what I had yesterday

Tell everyone I'm fine, but I'm still
Am G Em
Sitting here, choking on the aftertaste

Can't stay away from you, I try, I try
D
But you got a grip on my mind
