Looking at your picture lying on my bed

Wishing I was pulling close the real you instead

I don't know what I said or did

But girl I'm missing you

And I like to hear my music

But there's nothing I can listen to

Cos I can't play the songs I used to play because of you

The lonesome feeling start before the intro's halfway thru

Everyone reminds me of the things we used to do together

And I can't go to places that I used to take you to

Cos everywhere the faces there they all look just like you

Until your heart comes back where it belongs

I can't play the songs

Everywhere I'm drivin' I go a different way

I can't turn on my radio, afraid what they might play

My friends all drive me crazy cause you're all they ask about

And why I live in silence but they just don't understand

Without you, I can't play the songs I used to play because of you

The lonesome feeling start before the intro's halfway thru

No one can replace you cause once I tried

And even when I try to go with someone new

You are so deep in my head

I looked into her eyes but then I say your name instead

Until your heart comes back where it belongs

I can't play the songs

There's nothing left that I can do cause I'm so lost in love with you

No where to turn, no place to run

You know you are my only one

I can't play the songs you used to sing along with me

Cos everyone is always bringin' back the memory

Until your heart is back where it belongs

I can't play the songs (won't you please come back to me)
