And I was alone
On the fifth day since you´ve gone
This broken glass; this early morn
I rub my eyes in the haze
I´m not sleeping anyway
I watch the sun rise up
In the city where I was born

I could call you now
Wouldn´t matter what I´d say
Words just aren´t enough
I hear our song; press repeat
I smell your perfume on the sheets
You always said, "Boy, you´re not so tough"

And only now can I say,
"No matter how I shake and shape
It´s these things that make you a man"
And frozen mind begins to thaw
You think, "My God, my God, my God
Where was it I began?"

"I wish you were," is what I´d say
If you asked me in the light of day
But these nights are like a dream I can´t shake
And there´s your hair and there´s your head
And there´s your empty dress on the bed
I wish I could scream myself awake

But I won´t go back to what I was
And I know now that you are lost
It´s your choices that make you a man
And frozen mind begins to thaw
You think, "My God, my God, my God
Where was it I began?"
