She Just Couldn't Stay

Sometimes a dream with haunt me all day

I walk around feeling something has changed

I catch myself thinking you feel as I do

Like somehow the dream is haunting you too

But I know the longing

Is mine and mine alone

I keep forgetting

That I'm in love with a ghostThe person you were

I know you're not her

She went away

She went awayI still want to say

"Why did you change?"

When I know full well

There's no need to tell

The person you were

I know you're not her

She just couldn't stayAll of those letters of pain and love -

Did we burn too bright, too bright to last?

Were we destined always for a broken heart each?

That we're now worlds apart

Sometimes it seems
