When You Walked Away

Driving home today I started thinking aloud About the things that you said, what they did to my head And what to do now. I wanted to run away but I stayed and listened To what I didn't want to hear and I held back the tears When you said something was missing. So now I ask myself where is it I went wrong? Did you even want to cry when you turned and said good-bye? It's so hard to stay strong. Don't you know that you made my life worth living? You were everything I had but somehow it went bad And the love just stopped giving. Somewhere down the line I'll give it one more try Get it right next time, but could this be a sign That it all was just a lie. I guess the time to go our own way Came too soon; I just wasn't ready. I'm scared to be without someone to hold. All the warmth is gone, everything went cold. I could feel it when you walked away, And thought maybe, just maybe, you might miss me one day. Driving home today I started crying out loud. When I remembered you say that you'd never walk away. But where are you now?
