By Myself
I stood there, as you walked away
and thought about the things i wanted to say.
But i had my chance and now you're gone.
I'd hoped you'd turn around, but its been too long.
So i turned away and no one saw my happy tear.
You leaving me killed my long agonized fear.
You never meant to hurt me; but it happened anyway.
Now i must learn to be alone and survive everyday.
you sleep all day and stay up all night:
wondering what you could of done right,
that would of made it okay for you to stay
here with me so you could sleep at night and not all day.
The thoughts in your head are so loud that the world around
you is mute: if I'd called you wouldn't hear the sound.
The tears have stopped flowing from my eyes
but don't forget that my heart still dies.
The lights are off but I'm still here
drowning in the memories of the past year.
It wasn't too good, but it was true
and now you've left, and I'm no longer blue.
You walked away, and left me here
but now its time to overcome my fear.
Step out into the light of day:
live my life, now you've gone away!
You lost your control over me
and I'm damn glad you set me free.
