What do I do when you leave? Deny all the pain? Pretend you never entered my life? What do I do when I pass that familiar place? Or hear that familiar song? Pretend it has no effect, no meaning? What do I do when you turn your back, When my eyes well up with tears... And you're about to walk away. Pretend that as soon as you reach your desired destination, You'll turn right around, And you won't stay? That you'll be back the very next day? Should I ban you from all my thoughts, Forget all the memories echoing in my head? Forget your voice, your laughter, and the touch of your hand? What do I do, When I look in your eyes for the last time, And I lose the feel of your last lingering touch... What about when I feel my life falling apart, Or when the tears finally course down my cheeks... And you do walk away. When the reality of it all hits me... And my hands and knees tremble from the thought... You really won't stay. When you fade in the distance, And I realize you won't be back in the morning when I open my eyes... The very next day.
