Band-aids

I try to heal the wound you left behind
 by dating someone else
But all I'm doing is hurting myself
When I look at him I just wish he was you
There are so many things that I can't do
I can't kiss anyone who isn't you
I almost throw up every time I do

They are all just band-aids that I used
Trying to cover the wound left by you

Everyone keeps telling me
Don't throw up grow up
Let him go
Move on

But I can't just wait for another band-aid
 to come along

Band-aids don't last forever
Only when you come back will I truly get better

Even when the band-aid is there
I still feel the pain so it's just not fair

Band-aids don't heal the wound they cover
If you don't believe me take a peek under
You'll see that I still cry myself to sleep
I still wish I was with you
I still cry when I see your picture
I still wear the clothes you sent me home in
I still think about what we could have been
I still replay the memories in my head
I still smile at all the beautiful words you said
I still only think of you when I hear the word love
When I wake up you're the first thing I think of
I still cry because I feel empty
 even when someone else is next to me
There are so many things that I can't do
I can't even kiss him because he's not you

I'm done with band-aids
They don't heal the wound
I want you to see the wound you left behind

Even if you don't
I would rather suffer through the pain
And let my wound show
Because with every band-aid
comes the risk you'll think I'm happy
so you'll let me go

Band-aids don't heal the wound they cover
So please come back and make me whole

 Please come back and heal the wound you left
You're the only one who can

I'll be here patiently waiting until then
