As I ride along, I can still picture her face,
The one that no other, can ever replace.
She captured my heart, and captured my soul,
Just loving her, was my only goal.

I somehow missed the mark, and missed my chance
At building what we had, into a lifetime romance.
Just a stone's toss away from crossing that line,
Where I'd be totally hers, and she totally mine.

Sit alone sometimes at night, and can't help but cry,
Wondering why she never bothered to just say goodbye.
To say I hate you for this, so that I might just see,
Just what I did, to make her stop loving me.

Though I tell friends I'm over her, they know that's not true,
For, the person I was, still doesn't come shining through.
Whereas I may not be that great, don't think I am bad,
Did nothing to deserve, this heart that's so sad.

I'd try to call her again but, she might answer the phone
And tell me she's busy, and she's not alone.
And even if I did catch her now, wouldn't know what to say,
Maybe I really don't want to know, why she tossed me away.

I don't wish her bad, there's no hatred in my heart,
Just some longing to know why we're now apart.
Wondering why I feel guilty when I did nothing wrong,
Wondering if it was a game for her and she strung me along.

If I could only feel hatred, instead of hurt in my mind,
I really do think, that it might be easier to find
Some solitude in this life, to let this all just pass by,
Without spending each day and night, just wondering why.
