Staring at these four walls
All the pictures bringing memories to my mind
Was the love really hard to find
I thought I was kind
Was I blind
Was I wrong
Thinking it was our time

I thought a picture
Was worth a thousand words
Then why can't I find the right verbs
I have become a victim of her last words

These four walls
If they could talk and tell all
They cause me to break down and bawl
I thought we were in it for the long haul
These walls remind me it was not going to happen at all

I look at the cross hanging on the wall
I get on my kneesΒ Β 
And ask
God why is this happening to me
Why did she leave me

The clock ticking, hanging on the wall
Tells me how many days
Reminds me how many times I begged her to stay

These four walls
Reminds
how lonely
