The Day You Went Away

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

Waking up from the dark to a brand new day

Hoping that love would blossom from decay

I see the sunrise

I feel the heat rise

Ears filled with empty words and broken promises

The day you went away

Falling apart, a separation sheds new light

Treading on broken glass

It's hard to stand and fight

I see the sunrise

Upturned and capsized

Sodden with empty dreams and no direction since

The day you went away

I can remember the feelings of elation

Running as if my feet had wings

I'd fly so high

Hitting the ground

That truth and devastation

Almost split me right in two

What was I to do?

I used to think you were the perfect lover

How was I to know you'd trip me up and say goodbye

Gravel on my knees

I knew I could be whole again

Along love's avenue

Walking tall and true

Waking up from the dark to a brand new day

Knowing that love will blossom from decay

I see the sunrise

I feel the heat rise

Head filled with shiny new ideas and positives

You're gone!

You went away

I'm looking back and thankful that the sun did rise

The day you went away
