When I need you

I just close my eyes

and I’m with you

is far from the truth

is a lie

if she’s dead

Photos of her

don’t help

Videos

really hurt

Each heard word

stabs my heart

Each one of her smiles

carves a part

When she moves her head

I hate my birth

When she talks to me

I scream in my head

When her birthday comes

I leave my mind

When her death day strikes

I wish I had a gun

When I need her

I close my eyes

and hope to see her

in my dreams

I did at the beginning

I rarely do now

unless I really want to

but it hurts a lot

when I awaken

and she’s still

not there

Leo Sayer - When I Need You
