Like I Loved You

I lie awake and dream
You're lying next to me
Close enough to touch it seems
One breath away from my ecstasy
Escape your ghost but not for long
See all your posts, hear all our songs
My friends are trying to take me out
They tell me not to think too much
But I think too much
I'm getting drunk to numb the thoughts
The rooms spinning
Yeah I can't get you out of my head
I stumble home, I'm not alone
But you're missing
Got another lover in my bed

Can I love her like I loved you
Can I love her like I loved you
It's her on the weekend but the though of you sneaks in
When we're done drinking white wine at 2 AM
My heart isn't ready for anything steady
Why can't I love her like I loved you

I'm staying busy just to be okay
My happiness comes and goes in waves
My friends are saying I should fill your place
And now I'm starting to think they're right
There's too much distance to work it out
And getting close will just bring me down
I think its best to just cut it now and shut it down
But maybe I just think too much

I'm getting drunk to numb the thoughts
The rooms spinning
Yeah I can't get out of my head
Stumble home, I'm not alone
You're missing
There's another lover in my bed

Can I love her like I loved you
Can I love her like I loved you
These thoughts start to haunt me, I know that she wants me
I'm scared to admit that I want her too
My heart's out of practice so now I'm just asking
Can I love her like I loved you

It's hard not to think about you
When all my memories have to do
With you and me, but I think I see
A light at the end of the tunnel, please
I'm finally open, my heart is showing
I'm falling for someone and still I'm hoping
To love her like, to love her like, to love her like I loved you

I'm getting drunk but not to numb these feelings
Yeah they're swirling all around my head
I'm at home, I'm not alone, she's stealing
The heart from right out of my chest

Like I loved you
Like I loved you

I wanna love her like I loved you
I wanna love her like I loved you
My heart starts to rush in, she catches me blushing
It's been so long since I have even felt this good
I finally made it
I'm ready to say this
I wanna love her like I loved you

Yeah like I loved you
Oh like I loved you
Oh like I loved you oh yeah
I wanna love her like
I wanna love her like
I wanna love her like
I wanna love her like
I wanna love her like
Like, like I loved you
Like I loved you
I wanna love her like I loved you
