Lyric
Lying all alone in this midnight blueWith nothing but these memories of youStaring at these walls that are closing inWondering if you’re ever coming back againNow I’m just a prisoner in this big old bedLiving with the things that I should have saidWhy is it always after someone’s goneThat you can see where you went wrongI couldn’t see you leavingBut I can see you’re goneThat note you left on my pillowSaid I was on my ownI never heard you crying‘Cause I was seldom homeI couldn’t see you leavingBut I can see you’re goneI just keep wondering where you are tonightAnd if someone else is holding you tightIt took you walking out the door to seeThat I’m really nothing when you’re not with meI did a good job of fooling myselfThinking that you love would stay on the shelfBut how could anybody be so blindTo have to wake up alone and findI couldn’t see you leavingBut I can see you’re goneThat note you left on my pillowSaid I was on my ownI never heard you crying‘Cause I was seldom homeI couldn’t see you leavingBut I can see you’re goneI couldn’t see you leavingBut I can see you’re gone
