Thinking out loud

Why can't it be like this?

She said, "It's lonely here tonight." She's always sad when she's alone.
She said, "I need you here tonight." She couldn't wait 'til I get home.
She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?"

You know it's always cold at night; it's always lonely 'til the dawn.
And though it's not what we both want, knowing she's there, I'll carry on.
Because she loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you more than any words can say?"

She loves me, and that's all I need to know.
She's part of my life; just a part I won't let go.
Then she said,

"Love me tomorrow. Won't you please promise me? Love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; hurry back. Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?"

Love me tomorrow; love me tomorrow like today.
Love me tomorrow; I need you much more than yesterday.

...Instead, though, it is like this...

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless fight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break
