He feels her smile when he's afraid,

it reminds him of his life before she went away

He might crumble, but he'll not fall,

if the memory of his only love can stay that way

Still has his dreams, they will get him through,

till his life means something more than to lose

Cos he's still wondering when she's coming home

and he'll tell her what he's done today

He doesn't want to lose this memory

of the only part of life to him that's safe.

Still hears her key, turn in the door,

disappointment running through him,

she's not coming anymore

He sees his friends, turns on that charm,

but his heart's not in it, doesn't want to move on

He has his dreams they will get him through,

till his life means something more than to lose

Cos he's still wondering when she's coming home

and he'll tell her what he's done today

He doesn't want to lose this memory

of the only part of life to him that's safe.

He's missing out on life,

because he doesn't know how long to keep her in his mind

His life's been hers too long and now he's picking up the pieces

just to stay alive

And he's still wondering when she's coming home

and he'll tell her what he's done today

He doesn't want to lose this memory

of the only part of life to him that's safe.
