it's been a long, long time since i looked
into the mirror
i guess that i was blind
now my reflection's getting clearer
now that you're gone things will never be
the same again
I waited for you; all through that damned dark night I waited. I was so sure that you'd be there - but you never came. I remember turning your gift in my hands, over and over… and it was always so cold. I remember that - crystal, cold as ice: Just like you.
there's not a minute that goes by every
hour of every day
you're such a part of me
but i just pulled away
well, i'm not the same girl
you used to know
i wish i said the words i never showed
I tried to forget everything. Dawn broke... and so did I. I tried to convince myself that I was crazy - that we were never supposed to meet. I know I never told you that I loved you; I guess that's why you didn't come. So I dropped the crystal in the dust and left. Because it wasn't worth a love that wasn't there.
i know you had to go away
i died just a little, and i feel it now
you're the one i need
i believe that i would cry just a little
just to have you back now
here with me
here with me
I never showed you how I felt, did I? That must have hurt you so badly - you were always one who needed to be told things. I knew that. I really did! And I still managed to screw up.
you know that silence is loud when all
you hear is your heart
and i wanted so badly just to be a part of
something strong and true
but i was scared and left it all behind
I wonder - did you ever show up, that day? I can imagine: sun rises, birds sing, dark-haired girl drops something shiny into the dirt - where it shatters happily - and leaves without a backwards glance. Then you come along and step on the glittering pieces - never realizing they were tear-dropped shards of my heart.
i know you had to go away
i died just a little, and i feel it now
you're the one i need
i believe that i would cry just a little
just to have you back now
here with me
here with me
I should have picked up the phone when you called me; for the last time. When you started speaking I wanted to answer, but I couldn't - I was numb from shock. Instead I let the machine record every last bittersweet word.
and i'm asking
and i'm wanting you to come back to me
please?
I was at the station when you left. I wanted you to turn your head, to see me, to break down and tell me you'd stay. Something. But you didn't. You were always so strong; right to the end.
i never will forget that look upon
your face
how you turned away and left
without a trace
but i understand that you did what you
had to do
and i thank you
I will always remember the day you left. The sun trying to break through the clouds, to dispel the mist that hung low as the train pulled into the station. Those few rays of sun that hit your figure as you boarded: striking the highlights in your wild auburn hair, caressing your hips in your favourite low-rise jeans, tracing your slender arms and slim fingers... with your eyes made darker by your usual eyeshadow, and your full, lipsticked pout. You never looked back, and then you were gone.
i know you had to go away
i died just a little, and i feel it now
you're the one i need
i believe that i would cry just a little
just to have you back now
