Without Your Love (Trijan Refrain)

by Jenni Marie   Jan 3, 2008


You've just left me here all alone
Just left and walked away
Spending every day by the phone
Hoping you'll call today
Why'd you leave me with all these tears
Once happy, now just left with fears
Why'd you'd leave me
Why'd you'd leave me
Don't you care about falling tears?

You've just left me here alone
Always wondering why
Pitiful thoughts constantly roam
Nothing to do but cry
Come back to me, don't stay away
I'm tired of these lonely days
Come back to me
Come back to me
It's with you that I want to stay

You've just left me here alone
Can only think of you
Seems my heart's no longer your home
Not knowing what to do
Without your love I'm just a mess
Missing your embrace, I confess
Without your love
Without your love
Beg you, don't leave me in this mess

**For A Contest**
