places

Toni Braxton

I'm reaching out for you
But now it?s just an empty bed
Remembered you were here
How quickly i forget
You comin? through the door
Just an echo in my heart
And i try to pretend it?s over
And i never get very far

Cus i just don?t feel right
When i know you?re not there
And the sound of goodbye
Still follows me everywhere
And i just can?t move on
And i feel my heart stop instead
And the only thing that i see
The places you used to be
Yeah
You used to be
Yeah

Got your photographs
And i give them all away
But each time i close my eyes
I?m staring at your face
I open the closet door
Smell the scent of your cologne
And i try to pretend it?s over
But you?re everywhere i go

Cus i just don?t feel right
When i know you?re not there
And the sound of goodbye
Still follows me everywhere
And i just can?t move on
And i feel my heart stop instead
And the only thing that i see
The places you used to be

I still sleep in the shirt
You left on the chair
I can still hear you walk up the stairs
I still can hardly breathe
Each time i forget, then try not
That you're not here with me

Cus it just don?t feel right
When i know you?re not there
And the sound of goodbye
Still follows me everywhere

Cus it just don?t feel right
When i know you?re not there
And the sound of goodbye
Still follows me everywhere
And i just can?t move on
And i feel my heart stop instead
And the only thing that i see
The places you used to be

Cus it just don?t feel right
When i know you?re not there
And the sound of goodbye
Still follows me everywhere
And i just can?t move on
And i feel my heart stop instead
And the only thing that i see
The places you used to be
