Thinking of Her

He tries to forget about her, 
as his heart burns like fire for 
           her. 

She cried when he said
good-bye to her, 
Now he cries to forget 
about her. 

He sits at a table in the corner
of the bar where a neon light
shines on the chair where she 
whould be sitting at if she were 
             there.

For he was a fool to tell her bye,
For no one in their right mind would
of let her go. 

Now he sits there and watches as another
man treats her right. 
Has his heart burns for her he knows he
made the mistake of letting her go. 

He still carries her picture around, 
Hoping that someday he will wake 
up from this nightmare that he has 
been living without her there. 

For now he knows, this time it 
was him who let her get away.
