I woke up this morning alone,
Deep inside, I knew you'd be gone.
I guess you got what you came for,
You wanted that, nothing more.

As I lay here now, I realize,
there was emptiness in your eyes.
I guess your heart is empty too,
so leaving was all you knew to do.

What will you say when you see me?
What reason will you give for leaving?
It matters not what you will say,
I knew that you'd be gone today.

What does it mean, that I allowed this?
Was I simply hungry for a kiss?
No, I just keep looking for a love that's real,
I wonder now, "Is it something I will never feel?"
