The Loss

Why did you leave- we all wanted you to stay- I still can't believe, that was your price to pay. I was laughing when you left, Now I'm crying every night. I haven't learned to deal, With your voice inside my head. I guess I'll move along, and keep my head Held high. I knew you couldn't stay Forever, I was ready to deal Out the next hand of cards, Cody said "pay Up." Then you said "I have a long night Tomorrow." I wish I'd said "Lee wait, stay for one more hand,: you would have left Anyway, but there could have been that chance. You've left This world behind, for a palace in my head, A temple in my heart-and at night- You'll always have a place to stay- With never any price to pay- Just you, me, Deal Or No Deal muted on tv. Deal Or no deal, I wish Satan had said to me. He'd stop before you left And for that my soul I'd pay, And I know that you'll never leave my head, Divided on if you should stay. I can never make it through the night. All day I'm tortured, at night I'm in prison, these four walls I'm forced to deal with you face, in pain I stay. How could I laugh when you left, But you never left, still trapped in my head, I wonder what debt I have left to pay? What debt is left to pay? What night, what night will be the night You finally leave my head, That I'll finally learn to deal, That your never coming back, you've left. I knew you couldn't stay- Forever-that night you left One world for another, tears to dirt, hand to head, a sinner must pay- Their debt, their crime, could I deal if you chose to stay?
