In Denial

In my dreams, you smile at me

I close my eyes, it's all I see

I tell myself you aren't really gone

I'm in denial

I toss and turn, I'm in my bed

I can't believe the voices that are nestled deep inside my head

Just another sleepless night

The windowpane is bathed in light

It didn't seem the time would pass so fast

At last, no longer night

I look outside and watch the butterflies

The unicorns, the rainbows in the skies

They're waiting

And in my dreams, you smile at me

I close my eyes, it's all I see

I tell myself you aren't really gone

Your photographs lay in a pile

I choose my clothes to match your style

I'll keep it up no matter how long

'Cause I'm in denial

I'm in denial

I'm lying still, I can't pretend I didn't see it coming

When a great abyss below me opens up and eats me whole

I'm falling down an endless pit, my life projected on the walls

I realize that this is it, I hear the reaper's call

I hit the ground and see the street, the empty road

In front of where we last agreed that we would meet

Before you said goodbye

Before you're taken by that other guy

Now you're gone

And in my dreams, you smile at me

I close my eyes, it's all I see

I tell myself you aren't really gone

Your photographs lay in a pile

I choose my clothes to match your style

I'll keep it up no matter how long

'Cause I'm in denial

I'm in denial

I know that I can't take you back

Take you back

But memory is all I have

All I have

I'm having trouble, I can't see

I can't see

The line between a dream and reality

And in my dreams, you smile at me

I close my eyes, it's all I see

I tell myself you aren't really gone

Your photographs lay in a pile

I choose my clothes to match your style
