THAT KIND OF ACHING

Riding around with your pillow 

In the back of my car

I can't look at it 

On the bed no more

I don't want to eat today

And my belly to be full

That kind of aching

Is surely preferable

It was hard to see you

When you stopped by today

And I broke down when

You walked out the door

It will take some time for me

To be just friends with you

Cuz my heart still aches

For so much more

CHORUS

The absence of your presence

Stirs up aching in my soul

The tears burst forth in waves

And down my face they roll

Even though this emptiness

I know you cannot fill

You don't have it to give

Yet I do miss you still

-CHORUS-

Been 14 days today

Can't get you outta my head

I still cry a lot

When I'm in bed

I wish I knew if you'll be 

Coming back someday

I just can't throw

Your toothbrush away

-CHORUS-

Been three weeks now

Since that final day

Exactly three months 

Since we met

In the same place I met you

I finally let you go

Went home and threw

Your toothbrush away
