Losing You

I wake up this morning 
and what did I find 
a cold lonely bed 
with empty bottles of wine 

cold water on my face 
but still my head is groggy 
I,m trying to think clear 
but my minds so foggy 

I know i am losing my mind 
that much I know is true 
but the part that's killing me 
is losing you 

wasn't it just last night 
we talk on the telephone 
before you got on the plane 
I beg you to come back home 

but you had your ticket 
and you didn't care 
you left me here broken 
as your plane take off in the air 

you said I will be okay 
that you know I'm strong 
but if you can see me now 
you will know you were wrong 

you know I love cooking 
and writing poems for you 
and you know when you leave 
i don't know what to do 

I know its only one week 
but it seems like years 
I try my best to fight it 
but cant win against my tears 

you left me like a dinner table 
without any sitting chairs 
you left me to cry a river 
that's flowing to nowhere 

I don't know why I love you 
love is something cant be explain 
but all I know is since you left me 
I have no desire to live again 

I know I am losing a grip on life 
its slowly sliding out the door 
but he part that's really killing me 
is that you don't care for me no more 

seems like just last night 
but it so long ago 
god created women 
so men wont be lonely no more 

I guess it wasn't for me 
or no one told you so 
cause if they did 
you wont have left me and go 

I know i am losing my mind 
that much I know is true 
but the part that's killing me 
is losing you
