Down, Down, Down

Driving down the road on Tuesday morning Marking how the highway looks familiar Wondering how to handle when I get there Every shape reminding me of you Didn't take a lot to know that I would miss you Took your absence just to know how hard it'd be Took your silence to remind me that I'm crazy Took a bottle close and gave you back your key So why'd you stay? And why'd you say the things you did When you could see that I was falling Was it madness to believe that you could love me Just a foolish girl who craves a final bow? Do you tell yourself you saved me from your story? Look me in the eye, then turn away somehow So why'd you stay? And why'd you say the things you did When you could see that I was falling See that I was falling And are you happy that the outcome is the same? Do you know how many times I've mulled this over? And do you promise to stay far enough away Till I can see your face Without it being close to mine A quiet morning and the sun is on the sidewalk I see the seasons changing and I mark the difference I find myself daydreaming now about the highway Wish you'd come around but hate and need the distance So why'd you stay? And why'd you say the things you did When you could see that I was falling Down, down, down Down, down, down
