Without you (Only you)

By Kim Nguyen

I see you walking down the street
I drop my shopping bags
And rush out to greet you

Thats when I realised
That this could only be a dream
The you who left so long ago
Could never walk that path again
So crazy but true
As reality is cruel

Ill never see you smile again
Never see you dance again
Oh-oh-oh

I walk into that old house
Flames of grief not yet doused
Trail my hands long the walls
Ignore the clench in my throat

Everything looks just the same
Waiting for your return
Every cranny, every picture frame
Memories that I should have burned

Your lifes in a photo frame
I cant find you anywhere else
And I dont know who to blame
Does it matter, in the end its the (same)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But theres been one small change

Small movement catches my eye
Turn around, my heart on the fly
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Why are you so cruel-ooh-ooh!
I thought it was you! Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Some feelings cant be doused)
I kneel down so crushed with tears
In a world with all my fears (set free)
Did it use to be this big? (Not without my twin)
So grey and empty too?

No it used to be our world
In which there was only us
Without you that world of two(had broken)
How could I move on?

Where do I begin
to live without my twin?
How do I exist? When Im without you?

Life came into being, with you by my side
So how can life go on as if theres nothing wrong

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Why are you so cruel
My eyes, those ears, that mouth
See and hear, smile only at you.
Hmm-hmmm

Only you.
