the day I went away

[pinksparklepop]

all the things i tried to tell you
on the day i went away
do i always have to leave
for you to want me here to stay
couldn't you just tell me you'll miss me
all those things we never say
and i saw you sit there smiling
as my plane just flew away

so far. so good. so far. i would.

all the things i tried to write you
from so very far away
never had the time to tell you
reasons why i run away
if i was with you tomorrow
would you still feel far away
when i look and i can't find you
feels like you have gone away

so far. so good. so far. i would.

please remember, please remember me.
please remember, please remember me.

so far. so good. so far. i would.

all the things i tried to tell you
on the day i went away
do i always have to leave
for you to want me here to stay
couldn't you just tell me you'll miss me
all those things we never say
i remember what its like there
towns that drive me far away
