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
Cause 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
Cause 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
