She Walked Away

In those times when our love felt sublime
We were both floating on air;
All our days shone so bright they amazed she
melted my cares.

Her smile covered all the
doubts that grew deep down in my trembling heart.
I knew I loved her, I took care of her;
something was falling apart.

Days went by and the clouds in the sky
Took away more of the blue
And her smile had been dying a while it
faded from view

What’s wrong I can’t hear the song
we’ve sung since we first became me and you?
What have I done you’re not the same one that
I once thought I clearly knew.

Please don’t take your heart from me
My world will crumble to ashes and dust
Don’t you know if you become free
I will die but I’ll breathe ‘cause I must
stumble on

Words turn to frowns smiling upside down
I’m numb: pain freezes the warmth of the sun
The day has become a dark night

Don’t you see you are distancing me;
I’m falling further behind
I cry she will not listen to me
her eyes have turned blind

Frozen in time she’ll no longer stay
She took the warmth “I am leaving” she told me
Then I watched her walk away

Beautiful love that we shared every day
Sadness is all each new day brings
I must rise up and find another way

Here all alone my heart breaks
It felt so right but our love wasn’t real
I tried to give; you could just take
I’ll go on but I’ll take time to heal
And you’re gone…
