For a Little While

You can't get her out of your mind
You lay awake until the morning light
The sheets are cold and the nights are too long
You can't stop thinking of where it went wrong

Life was shiny when she was around
Now you're laying like a rag on the ground
All is hollow, the bed is too big
The empty walls are closing in

For a little while
You thought you'd made it
To the safe side
But it goes to show
What's sure in life
You're alone again tonight

It's quiet now that she's gone
This room once filled with sighs and laughter
You thought you knew her by every word
And she said she'd stay forever and after

For a little while
You thought you'd made it
To the safe side
But it goes to show
What's sure in life
You're alone again tonight

A second's flash
You're struck by lightning
Angels singing
It's kind of frightening
She knocked you off your feet
The moment you met her
But now you'll spend your life
Trying to forget her

All that's left of her today
A box of postcards signed with love and kisses
You're going through her letters again
No clues or reasons, just promises and wishes

For a little while
You thought you'd made it
To the safe side
But it goes to show
What's sure in life
You're alone again tonight
You're alone again tonight
