You left me long ago,
And now each night
I cry alone.
I tried to tell myself
That I’d forget you,
But I was wrong.
You said that it was over
And that we were through.
In my anger I said
I never loved you anyway,
But I was wrong.
I thought that you
Would never leave,
But then you turned
And said goodbye,
I always thought
That you’d be mine,
But I was wrong.
