(gentle music)

♪ Days pass by and my eyes stay dry ♪

♪ And I think that I'm okay ♪

♪ 'Til I find myself in conversation, fading away ♪

♪ The way you smile, the way you walk ♪

♪ The time you took to teach me all that you had taught ♪

♪ Tell me, how am I supposed to move on ♪

♪ These days I'm becoming everything that I hate ♪

♪ Wishing you were around but now it's too late ♪

♪ My mind is a place that I can't escape your ghost ♪

♪ Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away ♪

♪ One more rainy day without you ♪

♪ Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day ♪

♪ One more rainy day ♪

♪ Oh, I'm a wreck without you here ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone ♪

♪ I've tried to put this all behind me ♪

♪ I think I was wrecked all along ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm a wreck ♪

♪ They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away ♪

♪ But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves ♪

♪ The way you laugh when your shoulders shook ♪

♪ The time you took to teach me all that you had taught ♪

♪ Tell me, how am I supposed to move on ♪

♪ These days I'm becoming everything that I hate ♪

♪ Wishing you were around but now it's too late ♪

♪ My mind is a place that I can't escape your ghost ♪

♪ Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away ♪

♪ One more rainy day without you ♪

♪ Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day ♪

♪ One more rainy day ♪

♪ Oh, I'm a wreck without you here ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone ♪

♪ I've tried to put this all behind me ♪

♪ I think I was wrecked all along ♪

♪ These days when I'm on the brink of the edge ♪

♪ Remember the words that you said ♪

♪ Remember the life you led ♪

♪ You'd say, oh, suck it all up, don't get stuck in the mud ♪

♪ Thinkin' of things that you should have done ♪

♪ I'll see you again, my loved one ♪

(intense music)
