I can smell your perfume on my pillow
The wind blows through the curtains like a ghost
There's broken glass all around your picture
Your black dress is on my bedpost

You're everything I've ever dreamed of and wanted
You're gone, I'm here, you're there with him left me haunted
Can't make a wish, my luck star has been daunted
And I can't sleep for missing you, Godspeed

I could sure use some understanding
And a little bit of mercy come morning light
I can feel my heart headed for a crash landing
And I could use your love tonight

I could find someone to hold me tight
Just a temporary fix to help take flight
And I tell my momma that I'm doing alright
'Cause I don't want to see her cry

You know I know that two rights don't make a wrong and
You can only fly so high for so long and
Heartaches make for one heck of a song
So baby, take your sweet time breaking mine

I could sure use some understanding
And a little bit of mercy come morning light
I can feel my heart headed for a crash landing
And I can use your love tonight

You're everything I've ever dreamed of and wanted
You're gone, I'm here, you're there with him left me haunted
Can't make a wish, my luck star has been daunted
And I can't sleep for missing you, Godspeed
You know I know two rights don't make a wrong and
You can only fly so high for so long and
Heartaches make for one heck of a song
So baby take your sweet time breaking mine

I could sure use some understanding
And a little bit of mercy come morning light
I can feel my heart headed for a crash landing
And I could use your love tonight
Well, I can use your love tonight
