As she passed through the door
I just watched her leave
This has happened more than once before
I failed to see everything in you
Now I wish I could see you
In the morning over tea
But you’re a thousand miles away
You hitched a ride to the west
And you met someone new
Replacing me was never a big deal
But I could never find your substitute
Now when we talk you’re so happy
I couldn’t do that for you
I’m sorry if I ever let you down
I guess I couldn’t keep my side of the deal
I guess I never saw just how real this was
My conversation faltered
As it had so often before
But this time around everything skipped a beat
And I, I just let you leave
As she passed through the door (I guess) (I just let you leave)
