How could i not see (lyrics)

_____the ** means insert the chorus

the drum beats in sync with the pounding of you heart
as your world comes crashing down tearing your dreams apart

they say they knew you
oh how that's so untrue

no one was there when you needed them most
when you tried to escape to the heavenly host

(chorus)
**how could i not see
what was right in front of me
why did i let you drift away

beneath all of your lies
lay desperate cries
how did i not see you fade away**

all day long you held a show to please everyone
you tried to erase what could never be undone

you told yourself that everything would be alright
that you could live through one more night

you told yourself lies that you tried to believe
but you were the one you couldn't deceive

**

now you've floated away to a world unknown
and no one can hear you scream and moan
i cant believe i left you all alone
and ignored your love that so brightly shown

**

now i miss you so much that i can hardly breath
i had never meant to let you leave

i couldn't see how much pain you felt
and how much you tried to make my cold heart melt

now all i want to do is turn back time
and have one more chance to make you mine

**
