16 Nights

I haven't slept for 16 nights
Since we said our last goodbye
And I've regretted every second since
Even the thought of it makes me cry

You were the best thing in my life
But I just didn't understand
How much you really meant to me
I just wanted someone to command

But now I know you were so right for me
And now there's nothing I can do
Because you can't stay far enough away from me
And I only want to be with you

It's such a shame that I lost it all
Before I realized all that I had
And I could say I never loved you a million times over
I know I'd still feel this bad

I'm so terrified I've lost my chance
To be with the girl of my dreams
There's no silver lining behind this cloud
Things are as miserable as they seem

I haven't slept for 16 nights
And I may never again until I make things right
