You Can See

how very much I have missed you

Don't you wish you could claim that I've lost my mind

Don't you wish you would have been kind

If suddenly I were gone what would you do

Would you find someone just like you

I cleaned the kitchen and left a slice of bread and a glass of milk

Clean and tidy is our bedroom, a lonely bed with sheets of silk

No one to feed your ego, no reason for you to run

No commitments for you to stick to, nothing to sweeten your tongue

Just you, time and freedom to be all alone

A starving heart to call your home

Your love for the moment will convince you I'm drowning in sorrow

But they know this game so you'll still wake up alone tomorrow

When you close your eyes you'll think of me

In three months time you'll realize I'm the one who's free

Because of you I locked my heart and threw away the key

A locksmith came along and demonstrated what love should be

No more pain and no more fear

Stop checking your phone you're in the clear

Don't worry I'm alive, happy and doing well

Figured I would tell you in case you couldn't tell

I hate to say that I've heard some stories about you

I know this town and I'm sure the stories aren't true

They say no matter how hard you tried you’ve never gotten over me

Apparently, there was some big secret that you wrapped your car around a tree

But we all knew here on the hospital staff

Don't worry no one cried we all just laughed

Why would you still seek sympathy

Knowing everyone is aware of how badly you treated me

You swore it was I who would miss you

Please tell me you can see how very much I have missed you
