Pull the curtains back and see
Remember how we once were one
The lark and laughter leaves you lost
When you think of what you've done

Across horizons less than sweet
You wonder "why me?" as you stare
At random futures bleak and barren
From mistakes you can't repair

Again you bend on callused knee
Forgiveness once came easily
But now I tire of empty speech
My warm embrace is out of reach

Don't look for me, you will not find
The tender love you left behind
I left you for those other places
Framed in strangers' haunted faces

No one made you push me out
You kept the door closed as I waited
The love you threw away was real
You made the choice; it wasn't fated

For every time that you have lied
My trust has died without a trace
For every tear that you have cried
Many more fell down my face

Again you bend on callused knee
Forgiveness once came easily
But now I tire of empty speech
My warm embrace is out of reach

In the dark, behind closed doors
The places where I used to be
You live alone regardless of
How many bodies you might see

Alone and cold without my kiss
No arms to hold you while in pain
This is the life you thought you wanted
No umbrella for the rain

Don't look for me, you will not find
The tender love you left behind
I left you for those other places
Framed in strangers' haunted faces
