Every day brings something different
Each day brings something that's new
Whether it's new found feelings of happiness
Or thinking of something I should have said to you

I wake each day feeling lonely
I go to bed feeling that same way too
The habits are breaking slowly
But I still can't stop missing you

The phones don't ring like they used to
The places we went aren't so important anymore
I'm used to those things being missing
Yet I'm still hurting right down to the core

I try to take each day as it comes
I've stopped trying to fill in the gap
I've accepted that I can no longer have you
Even though my heart still lies on your lap

I'm still mixed up confused and lonely
And everyone outside seems to forget
That I'm missing the most special person
And that I'm not nearly over him yet

Some people see life as a whole
The don't need to break it down to cope
I'm breaking it down and getting by day by day
My existence is like a knotted up rope

I need someone to love and feel close to
I want to be special again so very bad
I know I'll never feel the way that I want to
No one can love me like I was loved by my dad

I write because it makes me feel close to you
I like to think that you can hear what I say
I know I'm probably just being silly
But it helps me get by day by day

Love you Dad xxx
