Now that you are gone it’s so clear to see

You were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

You were like pure gold in the slipstream

Passed by the fools who don’t know what to look for, when it’s so obvious that a blind man could perceive

I took you for granted often, I never thought you’d one day build up the courage to leave

Who knew that you were my very heartbeat, the air I breathe

Now that you’re gone I’m a shadow of the man I used to be

When you left you took with you the biggest part of me

Whenever by chance our paths cross and I see your hand in hand with him

I wear a smile on my face so that you don’t see the brokenness deep within

Those who know me well can see the tearstains that scar my cheek

If only I knew then what I know now, I would have made you my priority, instead of selling out so cheap

I stay up all night, I’m to scared to close my eyes, so I’m loosing sleep

Pictures of you and him when I close my eyes is all I see

I know it’s no longer your concern how I still feel

Hindsight is always 20/20, I guess I didn’t realise how much I loved you until you chose to leave

Crying out to God but silence is the only reply I recieve

Every where I look I see traces of you and me

Girl come back, I mkss how it used to be

I never meant to take you for granted, I’m sorry

She ain’t you, no matter how hard I try to pretend that she is

Whenever we kiss, I look into her eyes and see a reflection of you looking back at me

I’m sick of pretending, I’m sick of playing make believe

When I know deep inside, you still have my hearts key
