The Days Without You

Verse 1

Inching closer to disaster

With everything I could muster

This pain this anger

The cradle of what once was my joy

A reminder of my failure

My failure

I carried like a burden

Till mercy became a stranger

Pre-Chorus

Was my loss not enough

Surrender to fate not enough

This pain I held like a curse

Was it always meant to hurt

Chorus

What do I do with the days now

The ones that come without you

The empty spaces in the hours

I used to spend with you

The more I try to let you go

The more this pain stays

I try not to think of you often

More and more each day

Verse 2

What do I do with the mornings

When there's no one left to call

What do I do with the memories

That still live inside these walls

You were there in every moment

The beginning and the end

Now I'm learning how to live

With a ghost I can't pretend

Pre-Chorus

And every silence sounds like you

Every night pulls me back

I keep reaching for a feeling

I know I can never have

Chorus

What do I do with the days now

The ones that come without you

The empty spaces in the hours

I used to spend with you

The more I try to let you go

The more this pain stays

I try not to think of you often

More and more each day

Bridge

Maybe time will make it softer

Maybe I'll forget your name

But I know some part of me

Will always feel the same

So what are all these days for

If you're not somewhere in them

How do I call it yesterday

When I still remember when

Final Chorus

I couldn't forget your smile

That bittersweet balm to my heart

I tried not to think of you

But you're never far away

Now every silence sounds like you

Every night pulls me back

I keep searching through the pieces

For the life we used to have

Outro

What of the days beyond me

The days without you

There's an empty moment waiting

Where you should be
