In Memory of You

Verse I
My eyes wide open thought wandering through the night,
Am I rid of you, ‘cause my body wants to hold you tight,
Memories taking all my time,
Thoughts changing from red to blue,
My heart is still beating but it skips sometimes
In memory of you,

Verse II
I tell myself that you’ll fade away and I am still the same,
I can’t remember your face but my love for you it still remains,
I’m in a lonely place, such a lonely place,
Where I hope to find somebody new,
My heart is still beating but it skips sometimes
In memory of you,

Bridge
I try to deny it,
But my body it screams for you,
I try to defy it,
But to you it will always be true,
You gave life to me,
A life I live in misery,
Just when I think I'm free,
You flood into my memory,
Verse III
In deepest night when I close my eyes and sleep it beckons me,
Peace finally comes to my tired mind, but you’re always in my dreams,
Why does it hurt so bad just to try to get on?
Is this what love’s supposed to do?
My heart is still beating but it skips sometimes,
In memory of you
