Keep My Head Above The Water

Woke up this mornin' sky was cryin' just like me

Coffee's gone cold and your ghost won't let me be

I reach for your shadow but it slips right through my hands

Thought you were my forever turns out I don't understand

We had a fire baby burned so hot and true

But I guess the flames don't mean a thing to you

You tore my soul in pieces left me in the dark

Now I'm just a broken man carryin' a heavy heart

But I keep my head above the water

Even when the waves pull me down

I'm drownin' in the memory

Of the love I thought I'd found

I can't go on much longer

But there's a whisper in the night

Sayin' "Real love's out there keep walkin' toward the light"

Your name's still on my lips like a song that won't fade

Your perfume haunts the pillow where my lonely dreams are made

I drink just to forget you but it don't work for long

'Cause the silence screams your name when the bottle's gone

Yeah I'm bruised I'm battered I'm barely standin' tall

But I won't let this heartache be the end of it all

Somewhere out there love is still alive

And I'll crawl through hell just to feel it one more time

So I keep my head above the water

Though I'm sinkin' slow and deep

I'm holdin' on to hope

While I cry myself to sleep

No I can't go on much longer

But there's a flicker in the night

Sayin' "Real love's waitin' you just gotta fight"

Oh I thought you were the one

But the road goes on and on

And I'll find love again...

Long after you're gone
