Waiting For the Dawn

Ever since you left our town I feel there’s no one I can trust I didn’t want you to leave, but I’ll try to let you go if I must I wonder how it could’ve been for us; I could’ve been the one I wanted to find out, but now it’s too late-you’re already gone I wish I could’ve told you how I felt when I told you goodbye But instead I watched from the window as you left, about to cry And now every single time I close my eyes, you’re all that I can see And when I look at your photo my heart stops and I can’t breathe You could’ve worked it out, you could’ve stayed if you’d wanted too Late at night I wonder if I could’ve stopped you if only I knew Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to go? I was hurting on the inside, but somehow I didn’t let it show Why did you have to go? Why did you have to leave? Would you have stayed if I had begged with a ‘please’ You never were the type to stay somewhere for too long And until we meet again this is gonna be your never ending song I still don’t know if I can ever heal from a heartbreak just like this Because for me just being near you everyday was pure bliss You’re just like the others in my life, you come and then you’re gone Every night I go to bed with tears for you, just waiting for the dawn I should’ve told you I loved you from the very first day we met But when I tried to tell you it was like my words got caught in a net I never will forget your face, it’s in my heart, it can’t be erased Everything reminds me of you, no matter where I go, every single place I never will forget the special way you looked at me that one day But I was so shy, I couldn’t even form the words to say, ‘Hey’ I hope one day that I’ll cross your mind and you’ll look back and smile While you reminisce of me and all the good time we had for a while I really hope you don’t forget to remember me and all the fun we had And if you ever felt the same way about me, please don’t be sad Even if I go for an eternity without seeing your face again My love for you is never gonna die, it’s never gonna end Sometimes I can’t help but wonder: will I ever see you again? Will you come back to me one day, or is this really the end?
