 I woke today, felt your side of bed,

 You might not be sleeping here again.
But  its all right, I love  you. That's  not gonna change.
Run  me round, make me hurt  again and again.
But  I'll still sing  you love  songs.
Written in  the letters  of your name.

 Well you know, hate's just the last thing they're thinking of.
 ~>
 They're only trying to make it through the night.

 My landscape would be empty if you were gone.
 (Chorus)
 (  bass) ->  ->
 And brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain.
