I found it right here on the table
|
That letter you left for me today
|
Just a handful of scribbled words
|
And most of it sounds quite absurd
|
|
Do you know the feeling
|
I know the feeling well
|
To go into the great unknown
|
Knowing all the doors behind are shut
|
|
You did not leave an address so I guess
|
You had no interest
|
In my possible reply
|
Though I've never been a man of words
|
Right now there is a thing or two
|
I would really like to say
|
|
Do you know the feeling
|
I know the feeling well
|
To be hurt but try to hide it
|
To know the truth but still deny it
|
To put on a brave face
|
|
I could have stood the pain
|
The tears and the blame
|
I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
|
But what I just can't accept
|
Is the simple fact
|
You just quietly went out of here
|
|
I know we went from day to day
|
Trying not to state what was clear
|
For both of us to see
|
If it had to come to an end
|
Then why not do it with
|
A shred of honesty
|
|
Do you know the feeling
|
I know the feeling well
|
To always search but never find
|
To run but still be left behind
|
To finish second best
|
|
I could have stood the pain
|
The tears and the blame
|
I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
|
But what I just can't accept
|
Is the simple fact
|
You just quietly went out of here
|
|
How could it ever hurt so bad
|
Where it used to feel so good
|
|
I won't ask you to come back
|
I won't ask you to stay
|
But I want you to listen to
|
What I've got to say
|
|
I don't want your apology
|
I don't need your sympathy
|
All I want from you is
|
Just a minute of your time
|
|
May I please remind you it was you who said
|
I was too reserved
|
Right from the start
|
And now you slam that door on me
|
When I was just about to come right in
|
And open up my heart
|
|
Do you know the feeling
|
I know the feeling well
|
When the best you give is not enough
|
To not let good times get rough
|
To not let it all start again
|
|
I could have stood the pain
|
The tears and the blame
|
I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
|
But what I just can't accept
|
Is the simple fact
|
You just quietly went out of here
|
