Song Description

When I was in college I was dating a guy and he suddenly decided to break up with me, out of the blue. I was depressed and dejected, but after some serious soul-searching, I realized that no one could ever be the kind of friend to me that I need to be to myself.

Lyrics

You sat across the table from me
Drinking your bear and looking fine
Then you told me that you're finished with me
Out of the blue, it's all a lie

How could you love me, then leave me?
How could you just walk away?
How could you leave me so empty?
You won't give a clue
So out of the blue.

I thought that I had found someone
Someone to care, someone to know
All the little things about me
Not just the things I dare to show

All my fears, all my hopes and dreams
You would bring to the light
And there would be the friend I need
To make it all right

And when I'm tied up in knots
You would know what to say to ease me
When I'm sad and discouraged
You would bend over backwards to please me
You would be there
When I need your strength and wisdom
You would inspire me
With the magic of your vision.

Now I'm walking through the darkness again
And the wind begins to blow
When I'm startled by a sound from above
And I'm stopped in my tracks
By an avalanche of snow
And as I glance up into the splendor of the tree
It suddenly occurs to me
That the friend I am looking for is me

How could you love me, then leave me?
How could you just walk away?
How could you leave me so empty?
No never again,
Amen, never again.
Never again.
