Tonight I say a prayer for you
And wish the war was done
Cause deep inside this heart of mine
I wage a war of one
Our son is growing up another
Day without you near
He says he’s brave like daddy is
And never shows his fear
But deep inside his distant gaze
I see a child so meek
And though his hand is strong in mine
His other hand is weak
Chorus
Baby I hurt, this pain I feel
I hope it’s not too long
I’m trying to be the two of us
But a part of me is gone
The life we had was put on hold
And one is left from two
I`ll do my best to carry on but
I’m not me without you
Last night he said your name again
So gently in his dreams
A sign that he’s still hanging in
I hope that’s what it means
And everyday he tells me that
He knows why you are gone
Looks at me with eyes of yours
And promises to be strong
So tonight I go to bed again
With loneliness and fear
And every prayer begins and ends
With "wishing you were here"
Chorus
Oh baby I hurt, my pain is real
I hope it’s not too long
I’m trying to be the two of us
But a part of me is gone
The life we had was put on hold
And one is left from two
I’ll do my best to carry on but
I’m not me without you
