From staring at the candle's flame
Across the crowded bar
You're stealing a glance
I return your gaze
My smile almost as sad as yours
Your head shakes slightly
As if to apologize
You've caught me off guard
Before I could stage my front for you
You noticed the state I'm in
That I've fallen into impossible scatters
Alienated by my own heart
Outcast by the depths of my soul
My mind an endless sea of oblivion
Lost to dreams stolen from me
By one I would love forever
I watch as you lower your head
Wiping a stray tear from your cheek
Knowing you couldn't save me
From the fate you decided
I know you didn't want to hurt me
You only did what you needed to do
You were certain I'd get over you
But I never learned how to let you go
I never believed I'd have to
You glanced up once again
Only to find me gone
You checked out the window
To catch me driving away
You were amazed to find me behind you
