And then You Went Away  -  Brian Vander Ark


 Brian Vander Ark

Ive been living in here long enough
It reminds me of when times were tough
I still think of you everday
Its like you never really went away


There were no signs
There were no warnings
Saying that its over

All you left behind was everything

You hung your favorite picture
So you could see it everyday

Then you went away and then you went away
Its by the window garden
That you said youd water everyday
Then you went away and then you went away


Its been awhile and I feel alright
You can call me day or night
Because I dont think about you anymore

In fact some of your things went out the door

The only words that make me feel better
Are saying that its over

All you left behind was everything

Slipped down the velvet curtains
The ones that you had custom made

Then you went away and then you went away
And theres my new best friend
The one you took in as a stray
Then you went away and then you went away


I guess its not over yet
Cause when Im ready to forget
I remember where I am


Cause theres a photograph
That you put up on display
Then you went away and then you went away

And theres a box of letters
That had me thinking you would stay
Then you went away and then you went away
And theres a coffee table

That you said would not be in the way
Then you went away and then you went away
And in the window garden
The leaves are falling in decay

Since you went away and then you went away
