No Dreams Worth Remembering

​

I'd give all of my tomorrows
for one more yesterday,
for one more chance to say
I need you here to stay,
but you're gone, now,
and I have no dreams
worth remembering today.

I let them all slip away.

You didn't seem to care.
You weren't there
to see me coming down,
to hold me up
as I was falling.
You weren't there
to save me from myself.

So I try to get by
without you. I try
to keep on smiling
when these memories
cry out loudly to be forgotten,
and I have no dreams
worth remembering today.

I let them all slip away.
