Every day is a long time waiting 
Every night is alone and cryin? 
Your memory is a long time fadin? 
Every tear has a reason why, every tear has a reason why 

Echos are fillin? the hallways, bringin? back those better times 
The smell and the touch and the taste of you won?t leave my mind 
You?re a ghost in the house we lived in, I can feel you everywhere 
I know better than to hope that you still care 
But I keep lookin? for you out there 

Every day is a long time waiting 
Every night is alone and cryin? 
Your memory is a long time fadin? 
Every tear has a reason why, every tear has a reason why 

You came in like the dawn of a new day, now the dark is settlin? in 
I don?t know if I can find a life worth livin? again 
In the night, in the still of the shadows, I can?t help but wonder why 
I bought into a trouble that no one else would buy 
And every tear has a reason why 

I chased you until you caught me, caught me so unaware 
Look at all the things you taught me about a dead end love affair 

Every day is a long time waiting 
Every night is alone and cryin? 
Your memory is a long time fadin? 
Every tear has a reason why, every tear has a reason why
