lyrics

I didn't slip those words into your pocket
When you found you wings and we began to fly
Any closed door found we could unlock it
Chocolate, it was better, now tell me why
That I am here
But where are you?
How can you just disappear?

I didn't fall into a black hole
Leaving you wanting, and waiting on your own
Making plans to have complete control
Partners, we were not just lonely souls
Now I am here
So where are you?
How come you just disappear?

Do I wish you well? Well that's a hard sell
Cause' I thought I knew you
It just goes to show
When you get to where you want to go don't call me
Cause' I don't wan't to know...

Don't tell me that I saw this coming undone
Cause' I know that you did not play your part
You made a choice and now you're off on the run
I'll be alright, no fight, just another start
Because I am here
And you are gone
And I will not disappear...
