Just Because

The birds no longer sing
The sun no longer shines,
My world no longer spins
Because you are no longer mine.

I don't know what happened
Why you had to let me go,
You didn't really tell me why
So I really just don't know.

Things were fine between us
And there wasn't any signs,
I guess I never bothered
To read between the lines.

I was missing out on everything
All the hints and all the clues,
Because I wasn't careful
Now I have the blues.

One day you were here
The next day you were gone,
We went from just friends to a couple
But that didn't last for long.

I felt so stupid
For being so naive,
And no matter how hard I tried
Those feelings wouldn't leave.

I tried forgetting everything
Even putting you aside,
But my love for you
I could never hide.

I don't understand
And I don't ever think I will,
Remembering what we had, then lost
Makes me feel so ill.

It was all so sudden
In the blink of one eye,
If you didn't want to be with me
You didn't have to lie.

I'm sorry you weren't happy
With the person that I was,
Something wasn't right with me
It wasn't "just because".

You could have just told me
Cause I really thought you cared,
I thought you felt the same
But the love just wasn't there.

And after all this time
You expect me to be okay,
I don't know what to do
Much less, what to say.

You were looking for something
That you didn't find in me,
I was your best friend
I was your giving tree.

But now, it's over
You threw all of it away,
For a chance to find love
That didn't even stay.

Is this really what you wanted
For us to be apart,
For us to not be friends
Like we from the start?

I want you back so bad
I wonder if you do, too,
Cause right now
I'm really missing you.
