As Usual

The sun comes up and brings the dawn
as usual

when I awake I find you gone
as usual

but I can't find a way to let

this crazy heart of mine forget
I pretend you're still beside me
as usual.
each evening I take a walk
as usual
I make believe that we still talk
as usual
people always stop and stare
I guess they just don't see you there
don't they know you'll always be right here
as usual.
Today I looked into my mirror
as usual
I told myself that you're still here
as usual
and as I stood there telling lies
the tears began to fill my eyes
'cos I know I'm only fooling myself
as usual.
END.
