When
I was sitting here
Thinking...
Yes, I know
That usually gets me into trouble
I was thinking about you
And everything you were
To me
All the things that you
Brought to my life
And, well, all the things
You took away
Recounting special times
First kiss
First...well, you know
Thinking of your smile
Your eyes
Your touch
Your warm, easy laugh
The way you'd hold me
When I cried
The way you made everything
Make sense
The way you could change
My worst day
Into a day that was
Surely, sent from heaven
You, see I had tried
For so very long
To put you from my mind
To place your memory
Into a file marked:
"Warning, may cause heartache"
But, I couldn't
And I can't
I want to
But I won't
See, it really is
Terribly hard
To forget
When so many things
Are left undone
When so many wounds
Have yet to be stitched
When everything that remains
Doesn't add up
All that surrounds me
Is the mystery
Of it all
When did things first begin
To fall apart?
When did love
Begin to fade?
When did you find
That I was not
What you had in mind?
I don't know
I can't recall
Exactly when it was
When you stopped looking at me
And started looking through me
When you stopped seeing me
And started seeing whatever it was
That you saw
What did happen?
Where did it all go wrong?
Oh, I have one more question...
Why didn't you bother
To tell me goodbye?
Only Heaven knows
Where you are...
