Heartache At 4am

Falling in love with you was bad for my health
You took all of me and I gave even more than you asked
I can hold your picture but it will never compare to your hand
If I had only known how these blurry images
Would haunt me year after year
Steal my sleep and cause so many tears
How these quick glimpses into the past
Could show me that I’m now missing
The very best thing I would ever have
And now, looking back, having aged so much in a year
I can only think about how much innocence was lost
And how much everyone was changed
Looking at the circles beneath my eyes
And the wrinkles that form on my brow
I know that they are as much your fault
As the dull ache that still presents itself
Inside my chest from time to time
