In the darkness
Black is the night
Tired, so tired
No relief in sight.
Cannot cry
So alone
Tired, so tired
Being on my own.
She left
Just walked out
She won't be back
Of that there's no doubt.
There was no argument
No words, no fight
Tired, so tired
It just didn't feel right.
She said sorry
Not much else to say
Maybe we could be friends
Somehow, someway.
That was the last thing I wanted
As she walked out the door
I wanted to say I love you
That and so much more.
But now those words
Will die in the past
And you wonder
How long the hurt will last.
I wanted to hang on
She wanted to let go
Now I'm watching time
Pass by so slow.
Daylight is coming
Soon the sun will rise
Maybe she'll be back
If I just close my eyes.
