She said, "I've gotta get away from here,
I can't take the pain no more...

I couldn't sleep last night,
I just cried instead...

Every time I wake up and you're not here,
every time I look up and no one cares...

So you left for California,
said you had nothin' left to say...

I've got somethin' on my mind,
I feel like I'm in such a bind...

Another sleepless night,
but this is no surprise...

In my room I sit alone,
wishing that you'd come back home...

It was a day like any other,
but then you didn't smother...

The day I lost you,
I felt so alone...

My life was a perfect picture,
one of you and I...

No one seems to notice (no one seems to notice),
how I feel so hopeless (how I feel so hopeless...

It's been years it seems,
since you left to chase your dreams...
