Snare

I’ll never forget you standing there,

the last time we said goodbye,

and how you left without a care.

..

Your eyes, those lips, that skin so fair—

now all I can seem to do is cry.

I’ll never forget you standing there.

..

Deep in my soul there lies a tear;

I’ve no more will to try to fly,

and how you left without a care.

..

I thought that you would never dare,

haunted inside until the day I die.

I’ll never forget you standing there.

..

The distance between us I cannot bear,

pain that I can’t avoid or deny,

and how you left without a care.

..

My heart is caught in a wicked snare;

I can’t move no matter how hard I try.

I’ll never forget you standing there,

and how you left without a care.
