Lyrics

On this lonely bed, I'm lying deep inside my mind, just crying
For a way to break this hold she has on me
I wish that she would call, but the phone upon the wall
Seems to turn the time into eternity
She keeps walking through my brain, Lord, and I can't stand the strain
That facing life without her brings to mind
Hurting heavy, hanging on, realizing that she's gone
It is only desperation that I find
Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
Loving her was all I had and now I've lost control
Help me make it to tomorrow, Lord, send me down your soothing word
And calm this desperation in my soul
Lord, the world is filled with others who were broken-hearted lovers
And I know they must have faced a night like this
Empty heart and all alone, hurting clear down to the bone
Breathing life into a sweet remembered kiss
Life is just an endless motion yet I can't dispel the notion
That without her loving, I can't make it through
I'm dreaming daydreams of the past knowing I have seen the last
Of her love and there's nothing I can do
Desperation has a hold upon my body and my soul
Loving her was all I had and now I've lost control
Help me make it to tomorrow, Lord, send me down your soothing word
And calm this desperation in my soul
Help me calm this desperation in my soul
