Far Away
I asked myself if I thought this was going to last,
And I hadn't thought much about it in the past,
But we weren't as close as we used to be,
And lately, I haven't been very happy.
So I decided to go my own way,
And maybe our paths would cross again someday,
But until then, I wanted to take it slow,
And go wherever I wanted to go.
Far away from him and this place,
Far away from that look on his face,
That said: "Come back, please, I can change."
And looking back now, it seems so strange
That he didn't know what he had until I was gone,
Now that I'm far away and not turning off this road I'm on.
I saw him on the street the other day,
And I couldn't help but notice him look the other way.
As if he was ashamed of who he was before,
And too scared to reopen that door.
As I walked by the place where we had our first date,
I remembered how, in time, that place I grew to hate.
And as I drove away that night, through the fresh fallen snow,
I thought again about the day when I just wanted to go
Far away from him and this place,
Far away from that look on his face,
That said: "Come back, please, I can change."
And looking back now, it seems so strange
That he didn't know what he had until I was gone,
Now that I'm far away and not turning off this road I'm on.
