Restless nights

My nights are so restless
my dreams show my fears
nightmares wont let me forget us
too often i wake up in tears

i try to let go
of this past i hold on to
i try not to show
that i cannot forget you

you were the one
that all of my dreams were made
we used to have fun
but now there's just pain

your choice has forever changed me
and you scarred me for life
the day that you told me
you'd no longer be my wife

our memories haunt me
at night when i sleep
my dreams just remind me
of what hurts me so deep

i just feel like I'm searching
for my true self to find
but your image is always lurking
in the back of my mind

i have since found others
that have wanted me
but they're not my child's mother
and it wasn't to be

i need to let go of you
and realize its over now for you and me
and end what I'm going through
if only the dreams would set me free
