Story Behind The Song

Written while on tour, after seeing my mother's long battle with Cancer, and not wanting to believe the end was so near.

Song Description

Song about the loss of someone dear to me, either by death or a parting of ways.

Lyrics

I Never Saw It Coming

Like a journey with no destination
I loved you with no end in mind
Though our roads seldom crossed and some miles were lost
You were always a place I could find

Though we might not have followed the same path
We always had something to share
So when clouds filled the sky I assumed they'd pass by
And refused to see rain in the air

(Chorus)
I never saw it coming
Yet it was right before my eyes
Goodbye can be a breath away
And still come as a surprise
I guess I looked the other way
Pain can be so numbing
I knew we'd have to part
I knew it in my heart
Yet I never saw it coming

I have learned not to take life for granted
It's treasures too soon disappear
Every moment in time is a partner in crime
That will rob you of all you hold dear

So I'll miss you for all that you taught me
And all that you left me to learn
For our worlds must age and the very last page
Is always the hardest to turn

(Chorus)
