Lying all alone in this midnight blue

With nothing but these memories of you

Staring at these walls that are closing in

Wondering if you're ever coming back again.



Now I'm just a prisoner in this big old bed

Living with the things that I should've said

Why is it always after someone's gone

That you begin to see where you went wrong.



Chorus:

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone

That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own

I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.



--- Instrumental ---



I just keep wondering where you are tonight

And if someone else is holding you tight

It took you walking out the door to see

That I'm really nothing when you're not with me.



I did a good job of fooling myself

Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf

But how could anybody be so blind

To have to wake up alone and find.



Chorus:

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone

That note you left on my pillow said I was on my own

I never heard you crying, 'cause I was seldom home

I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone.



I couldn't see you leaving, but I can see you're gone...
