After a long day of coughing
and a night full of talking,
I still wanted to come and see you
but what am I suppose to do
when all the lights are out and her
car is parked in your drive at about
ten p.m. when you aren't available
and tell me that you have to go.
The only light on is upstairs; your room
my heart sinks; my greatest doom.
I can't breathe and my mouth is dry
why did I have to come by.
Circle the block, I hope it's a dream,
Tears from eyes; they begin to stream
Back in front of the house her car is gone.
That's strange, I haven't been away that long.
I walk up the stairs and meet your eyes,
And there's absolutely nothing you can disguise.
I look down and back up at you
there's nothing left for us to do.
Two years down the drain between us
there is nothing left for us to discuss
I drop my chain necklace at your feet
My greatest love I have to defeat
Turn and run you don't come after me
There's nothing left for you to see
I never wanted you to see me cry
this feeling makes me want to die
Slowly I pull away from the past
and all your memories behind me... I cast.
