Since You Left Town

Since you left town
Life has completely changed
Everything remains the same
Yet my world seems rearranged.

The wind blows just as hard
School days are just as long
The sun shines just as bright
Birds still sing that same old song.

But there's one thing missing
Something that makes me incomplete
And that's having you here
'Cause you are what nothing can beat.

Without you, the wind is icy
And there is something missing at school
The sun doesn't shine the same
And the birds seem to call me a fool.

Since you've been gone
I feel empty inside
A part of me is truly missing
And I feel that part of me has died.

But I can't have you gone
I need you to be here
You have to come back
'Cause my heart needs you near.
