i taste the salt from my t e a r s

that slowly c a r e s s my face

searching for y o u across the plain

of an endless e m p t y space

your p r e s e n c e soothes my soul

but now i f e e l empty inside

i can't p r e t e n d i'm ok without you

no matter how hard i've t r i e d

i cradle myself a l o n e

try to c o m f o r t my aching heart

knowing we're not t o g e t h e r

only t e a r s myself apart

ever since you've m o v e d away

i've tried to s u p p r e s s what I feel

the feeling that a part of me has d i e d --

then left behind something that isn't r e a l

right now i'm quietly c r y i n g

w i t h o u t you i'm out of place

i taste the salt from my t e a r s

that slowly c a r e s s my face
