Now that you're gone

When you were mine
My heart was at ease

When you were mine
Losing you was not at all what I ever thought could happen

When you were mine
I took your heart for granted

Now though, you took my heart for granted and left me hanging

When I lose you my world came crushing
When I lose you then I could feel how I’ve missed you

So why am I just now falling for you?
Why does it suddenly prickle when you look at me?
Why now, your voice, does tremor to my spine?
Why is it now, do I get butterflies when we speak?

Why are you now, like a shooting star right into my heart?
So prompt and charming
But it burns a hole, a deep hole in my chest

Why am I now in love with you?
When I know you could never love me back…once more

Because with the way I feel about you,
There is always pain

If you could see me now, see me deep inside
Tenderness is held

And if you could see me now,
You would see how appalling my heart aches, for you
