Reachin’ my hands out but you’re gone
Heat of your body lingers on
And every night I dream I wake up by your side
Waking up I find it’s just another night
Hated and tortured everyone
I was a madman on the run
And every lover’s just another lovely face
A paper mask, a plastic toy to fill you place
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
You were so different from all
Different from anyone that I recall
Got a feeling throbbing underneath my skin
The everlasting burning memory of a sin
So many lovers after you
Trying to do things that we used to do
They’re a sickly imitation of a rite
We performed in sacred passion on a night
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
Waiting for you in silent emptiness
Calling out in my private wilderness
A lover’s touch will never mean a thing to me
I’m resigned to spend my days in dull monotony
Reaching my hands out but you’re gone
The heat of your body lingers on
And I dream about the way it all began
Waking up I find myself with someone else again
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
I had life then, now I’m just alive
I had fun then, now I’ve lost my drive
I had love then, now my love is gone
I had you then, memories linger on
