So, this is my first foray into writing lyrics. I hope its not too cringe-worthy, and I would appreciate your comments.
You Left Me Alone
You told me you had to go
That there were things I didn’t know
But I knew them all along
And I never said that you were wrong
For doing what you did
I never denied that your mistake
Made my heart break
Or made me wonder why
But you still pushed me away
Made me not know what to say
You crushed the happiness that I had
Girl, you crushed everything that I had
(Chorus)
Footprints in the snow
They’re fading like the you I used to know
Wet flakes are falling on my head
Cold as I am when I sleep alone in this bed
You’re the one who said
True love never dies
But I’ve already forgotten
The color of your eyes
Standing alone on this road tonight
I thought of what you used to say
About our future
About our shining light
You were happy then
I wish I could see you smile again
When it all disappeared
When our world came crashing down
I saw that it was yourself that you feared
So you left it all behind
Left me weak and blind
Alone to bury our baby girl
(Chorus)
Footprints in the snow
They’re fading like the you I used to know
Wet flakes are falling on my head
Cold as I am when I sleep alone in this bed
You’re the one who said
True love never dies
But I’ve already forgotten
The color of your eyes
Flowers on the headstone
I saw they were from you
I thought about calling you on the phone
But that’s something I could never do
I wouldn’t know what to say
I’d just ask why you went away
And I know you couldn’t answer
I know you couldn’t explain
Why you had to cause me all this pain
(Chorus)
Footprints in the snow
They’re fading like the you I used to know
Wet flakes are falling on my head
Cold as I am when I sleep alone in this bed
You’re the one who said
True love never dies
But I’ve already forgotten
The color of your eyes
I saw your name in the paper today
It said that you were dead
I’ve lost any words to say
So many thoughts are spinning in my head
It was no accident, just a suicide
And now my tears have nowhere to hide
Through my pain love was still there
But there is no one left to care
You’ve followed our baby to heaven
Or at least my dreams tell me so now and then
I’ll wave goodbye and watch you go
But where you’ve really gone I’ll never know
(Chorus)
Footprints in the snow
They’re fading like the you I used to know
Wet flakes are falling on my head
Cold as I am when I sleep alone in this bed
You’re the one who said
True love never dies
But I’ve already forgotten
The color of your eyes
Girl, I’ve forgotten the color of your eyes…
