Loving someone is watching them leave
Hearing footsteps as you grieve
You used to let me walk in front
Thinking I could take the full brunt
Remembering how we were so naive
Pain that I don't want to relieve
Sadness that seems to reprieve
Emotions I don't want to blunt
I keep watching you leave
Your bliss wasn't something I wanted to thieve
But I didn't want an ace up my sleeve
How do you salvage an affront
When you don't want to confront
Lost, not knowing how to retrieve
Because I keep watching you leave
