My Search For You...
I stared for a moment at your photograph
Wondering where you had gone...
I stared for a long time at myself in the mirror
Wondering if I was the reason you had left.
So I set off on a search for you,
Checking every spot we once knew.
I should have known you wouldn't be there.
I should have known because you just don't care.
But your eyes hold me
Locked in a sea of endless memories.
And your heart speaks to me
In a way no one could ever understand.
So my search continued onward.
I fell down, yet I stood back up.
And I continued onward, letting myself get cut and bruised
All in search for you.
Can you come back to me, please?
Leave you, I would never...
I remember you promised you'd never leave,
You said you'd always be there for me.
Why did you have to go away?
Was I only causing you pain?
Could you ever find it in your heart...
To forgive me for all I've done?
As I turned around,
I saw you staring back at me.
I ran to you,
And you faded away slowly...
I looked back to your photograph,
Your eyes have changed...
You're saddened now.
Was it my fault?
I never should have searched for you.
How can I make things right again?
How can I face myself in the mirror
When all I can see is a girl who is hurting?
In my search for you,
I found the truth...
You were better off without me.
