Lyrics ©2025 Ed Rendum (@edrendum) All Rights Reserved ====================== Morning sun breaks through a curtain crack Need to get up but I want to go back Back to my dreams 'cause you're still there You had to leave, it's so unfair You packed your suitcase and walked out my door Why did they have to send you off to war? My nights are empty and my days know no rest Follow the news as if I am obsessed I do my best to keep hiding the pain Though missing you slowly drives me insane I'll wear a smile and my face will be brave Counting the days hoping you'll come home safe I clean the house, I got the radio on Somehow they're playing your favourite song Again I'm reminded that you are still gone Then the news states that something went very wrong I try to call you, I try and try ("The number you dialed cannot be reached. Please try again later") No answer, I break down and cry My life feels empty and my mind has no rest My hands are shaking, baby, I'm so stressed Uncertainty drives me insane If only I could I'd get a plane Travel the world for you and more I wish you'd never gone to war I cried deep into the night Losing you just isn't right Suddenly my phone rings It shows your number and my heart sings You tell me you love me, that you're safe but must go That it's a few more months, you'll be home before I know My nights are empty and my days know no rest Follow the news as if I am obsessed I do my best to keep hiding the pain Though missing you slowly drives me insane I'll wear a smile and my face will be brave Counting the days hoping you'll come home safe
