As I perch by my window at night Bathing in the moon’s soft silver light I think of you And wonder if you think of me too Do I ever cross your mind The one who left you behind I wonder if you’re doing fine I left you broken, desperate, and scared Every minute, every second I wonder how you’ve faired Sailing alone on a tumultuous sea But think also of what you did to me Hours to days, days to years How often did I hold back my tears You deserted me first, shattered, alone, and defeated Without you there, my strength became depleted Still unsure if you even cared I, too, was beyond scared I had no choice I had to raise my voice I held on tight And gave one hell of a fight But I offered you, too, salvation If you only accepted my invitation So forget the pain you feel this night To stop and wonder who’s wrong and who’s right

As I perch by my window at night Bathing in the moon’s soft silver light I think of you And wonder if you think of me too Do I ever cross your mind The one who left you behind I wonder if you’re doing fine I left you broken, desperate, and scared Every minute, every second I wonder how you’ve faired Sailing alone on a tumultuous sea But think also of what you did to me Hours to days, days to years How often did I hold back my tears You deserted me first, shattered, alone, and defeated Without you there, my strength became depleted Still unsure if you even cared I, too, was beyond scared I had no choice I had to raise my voice I held on tight And gave one hell of a fight But I offered you, too, salvation If you only accepted my invitation So forget the pain you feel this night To stop and wonder who’s wrong and who’s right
