Story Behind The Song

Initially started to write this tune thinking how it would feel to lose my wife, then changed the theme when my wife lost her best friend in a car crash. The song is basically about loss, but I left the interpretation open.

Song Description

Song about the loss of a loved one. ambiguous so that it could be death or just the end of a relationship

Lyrics

Here I lie awake in bed, thinking back to better days
I can?t count the tears I?ve shed, it wasn?t meant to be this way
I can feel you here beside me, even though I know you?re gone
Now all I?m left with is your memory, sometimes I feel I can?t go on

It?s getting longer?since you?ve been gone, girl
I?m getting stronger?as time goes on, girl

Now, I?m just trying to clear my head, I?m trying to find words to say
I keep wishing you were here? to watch the sun set today
I can feel you here beside me, every time I hear your name
Now all I?m left with are these memories, to go along with all this pain

It?s getting longer?since you?ve been gone, girl
I?m getting stronger?as time goes on, girl

I remember you once told me?that you?d never leave my side
Well, here I sit all alone, I watch the days just pass me by

It?s getting longer?since you?ve been gone, girl
I?m getting stronger?as time goes on, girl
It?s getting longer?since you?ve been gone, girl
There?s something wrong here, you still belong here??..
