I'd love to sit and talk with you.
But you're a hundred miles away.
Even though you're right beside me.

She fell down and shattered on the ground.
The pieces of her love and beauty got absorbed into the earth.
And the stars stood witness to the passing of an angel.

She woke up the next morning and noticed a hole in her heart;sitting up, she thought about the world without you. You sat at the kitchen counter and tried to erase the hurt look on her face.

Did you know that she went home that night and cried herself to sleep? Did you know that she wanted to tell you that she didn’t mean it? And now that girl’s gone, long gone. You missed a chance to tell her that you’re sorry, too.

She’s gone; she disappeared as soon as you burned that bridge. You know, she loved you so much that she worked really hard at keeping it alive, even if it was already dying.

Did you know that she went home that night and cried herself to sleep? Did you know that she wanted to tell you that she didn’t mean it? And now that girl’s gone, long gone. You missed a chance to tell her that you’re sorry.
