Never Go Away

You ran across my mind as the leaves fell down

Reminding me it’s been a year since you left town

Thinking things to tell you that’ll never get said

Like the letters I have written that’ll never be sent

Once there was a time when you were everything to me

But what I meant to you was something I couldn’t see

Someone who was there for just a moment in time

To leave me standing, wondering just like everything you ever left behind

It’s all right, it’s okay

We all done things that’ll cost us one day

All we can do is learn from our mistakes

And never let it go away

There’s a story that you told me once when we were all alone

You were dancing like a fire, you were howling at the moon

I could almost see your skin shining under its light

Moving to the rhythm of another life

And I knew as you spoke that I was not really there

Your eyes were looking through me in a far away stare

And I reached out to touch you, you were standing so near

But it was like it is now, you weren’t there and you’re not here

It’s all right, it’s okay

We all done things that’ll cost us one day

All we can do is learn from our mistakes

And never let it go away

Never go away

Sometimes it takes a little while for things to be clear

And there’s been a lotta changes in the passing year

In the end you chose a life that did not include me

And then act like it was nothing just as long as you were free

So that’s enough thinking about the days gone by

And that’s enough wondering about “why, oh why”

You ran through my life like I was standing still

And I thought I could forget you, but I guess I never will

It’s all right, it’s okay

We all done things that’ll cost us one day

All we can do is give whatever it takes

And never let it go away

Never go away

Go Away

Go Away

Go Away
