Ain’t it funny how, in a minute, your whole life’s looking fine
|
And a short few words later it all just comes untied?
|
You can’t believe you’re looking at what was always someone else
|
Now it’s staring right back at you, yesterday you couldn’t tell
|
So shock and dissolution, helpless and confused
|
Not knowing how and what to say, not accepting that it’s true.
|
You can’t help but see the worst to come a thousand different ways
|
The same time trying to hold on strong in optimistic games.
|
|
When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving
|
When I saw you leaving in my mind.
|
|
And the angry starts to surface, looking up, asking why
|
And you realize he probably wants the best, as same as I
|
Days just go by quickly, nights just never end
|
As time gets so more precious, every sunrise and old friend
|
Trying to be opposed, to lean on, a part you learn is hard to play
|
Asking God to let you take her place or just take it all away.
|
Hope you’ll wake up in the morning, was all just been a dream
|
You never take for granted every second that you breathe.
|
|
When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving
|
When I saw you leaving in my mind.
|
|
And the seconds turn to minutes
|
And minutes wouldn’t last
|
And the hours, days and weeks and months
|
Seem endless and too fast
|
And the lessons just pour from Heaven
|
Like the rain on that first spring
|
Since that moment I first saw you
|
You might not always be with me.
|
|
When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving
|
When I saw you leaving in my mind.
|
|
Ain’t it funny how, in a minute, your whole life’s looking fine
|
And a short few words later it all just comes untied?
