[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
