Where were you when I felt so blue?
Where were you when I cried?

Why did you think it was okay
When you turned and left today?

Couldn’t you guess that I needed you
My feelings I could never hide

I just can’t express myself anymore
Since the day my memory faded away

Don’t you know that I think and hear?
That your absence is what I fear most?

Do you ever realize that I still live inside?
Do you ever wonder what I can see?

No longer a pillar I feel your deep sorrow
To your friends you no longer boast

Would it be easier if I just disappeared?
Would the world be a better place to be?

Know that despite what I am
Or the things that I can no longer do

My love for you has never changed
And I spend my days remembering the past

Regardless of what my lips now say
My words biting deeply into you

Know that I do know you’re here
I’ll remember your love to the last
