He saw you hurry down his door steps,
You did not stay the night.
He saw you hurry down his door steps,
Bouncing, even skipping in your flight.
He saw you walking on the boulevard,
You stuck to shadows all the way.
He saw you walking on the boulevard,
Entwined forever in this game you play.
You thought he didn't notice,
Blinded to your sin.
You thought he didn't notice,
The condition you are in.
He's not here you thought, so perfect,
Your lies will not be found.
He's not here you thought, so perfect,
Your heart telltale thumping underground.
He took the long way home,
He had to clear his head.
He took the long way home,
Wondering whether love is dead.
The winter wind was whipping,
Biting at his ears.
The winter wind was whipping,
His cheeks wet with tears.
He imagined your dress falling,
You rolling on his bed.
He imagined your dress falling,
So on the way he said,
"Why should I go home tonight?
It's not like she stayed true.
Why should I go home tonight?"
Said as if to you.
You cried after the first night,
He took the first train West.
You cried after the first night,
You never would have guessed.
The second night was harder still,
He left even his phone,
The second night was harder still,
He left his life, he left you there, crying all alone.
Next night you wept and knew your fault,
Betrayal betrayed you.
Next night you wept and knew your fault,
The love that could have grew.
Months had passed and time stood still,
Naught but guilt to get you by.
Months had passed and time stood still,
Your prayers answered, he called and asked you, "Why?"
Your heart it started racing,
Your words must be precise.
Your heart it started racing,
Leap of faith upon thin ice.
"I don't know what came over me,
I fear this void inside.
I don't know what came over me,
From my faults I cannot hide."
"I miss you now so dearly,
Won't you please come home?
I miss you now so dearly,
You no longer need to roam."
"I saw you hurry down his door step,
But that was just the start.
I saw you hurry down his door step,
As you trampled o'er my heart."
"I don't believe in love no more,
So I left it all behind.
I don't believe in love no more,
I kept looking for sign."
"Was nothing there in Omaha,
Nowhere further was I shown.
Was nothing there in Omaha,
Naught I hadn't known."
"Circumstance has changed me,
Our love it was not real.
Circumstance has changed me,
Your love I didn't feel."
It was over, a new day,
Tone hummed to her reply.
It was over, a new day,
She dropped the phone only to cry.
