When everywhere I turn there's just another memory
And they only make me want to say sorry.
Funny how I laugh it off and pull out another smile,
Cause I think of you and I know you were worthwhile.
Already I've forgotten why I felt liking walking away,
When you were the sunshine lighting up my day.
And it had been so long since someone held me
But you weren't afraid to fight off each tear.
So now I'm sorry that you felt like you had to lie
When you were the reason I always tried to smile.
With you, my poetry seemed to turn out weak
But why write a fantasy when you were real?
I can remeber picking up the phone
And telling you that I was scared of being alone.
Maybe that conversation didn't end quite right
But now I'm missing your presence in my life.
I earned the name Sunshine but now you're gone
And you were my reason for shining all along.
So now they whisper that I seem a bit depressed
How would they feel if they were the reason you left?
And I can still feel your arm around my shoulder
Now I wish I had left it unsaid, wish this wasn't over.
Every morning I try to take a look in the mirror
And staring back at me is the reason you aren't here.
I'd hate myself, but you said that isn't right.
Neither is living without you in my life.
And they only make me want to say sorry.
