Empty Playground

You said we'd play forever…

You said you'd never leave…

But forever ended early…

And now it's only me…

Your shoes are by the doorway

Your laughter's in my head

I keep on looking for you

Forgetting you're not here

The playground's getting colder

The swings don't move the same

I sit where we were sitting

And call out your name

They tell me you're in heaven

They tell me not to cry

But nobody can tell me

Why you had to say goodbye

I don't wanna play

anymore

Not without you like before

All our games are just pretend 'Cause I can't bring you back

again

I don't wanna laugh today I wish the world would go away

Everybody says I'll be okay… But you were the reason I wanted

to stay

I saw a silhouette yesterday

Beneath our favorite tree

I ran to where you used to stand But there was only

me The wind was saying something

It almost sounded like your voice

I wanted to believe it

But I knew I had no choice

I saved a place beside me

In case you ever came

But every day gets darker

And nothing feels the same

I don't wanna play

anymore Your name is written on the floor The world keeps spinning

without you But I don't know what I'm supposed to do

I don't wanna laugh today I wish this hurt would fade away

They say that time will help me heal… But they don't know

how empty I feel

Last night I heard you laughing

From somewhere in the rain

I turned around to find you

But heard you call again

And then I saw the swing move Though there was no wind

at all I heard you call out,

"Come and play…"

From somewhere past the wall

I don't wanna play

anymore I leave your spot beside the door

I know that you are really gone But I still wait until

the dawn

I don't wanna say

goodbye I still have so many reasons why And even though you're

not here to stay… I'll remember every game we

played I brought your favorite toy today… I left it where we

used to play. The swing moved once… Then everything was still.

(I miss you.) I don't wanna play anymore.
