Lyrics

You don't know where.
You don't know why.
You don't even care about the things that your doing to me and the rest of my life.
You don't understand me.
You're not even fair.
You saying that you need a little space in your life and you're makin' new plans.

Well now don't you think about it?
Don't you even understand the way I feel?
Don't you wanna know, that living in a life of lovin' ain't the easiest deal.
Don't you even care, that I won't see a life of love if it's away from you.
I've never had a fever for any other...I need you there.
'Cuz if you mean anything, that you say in any way.
Then watch me shiver cause you left cold I stand here crying in the rain.
How could you want to be alone?
When I've been saving all for you.
And so many of the nights I held you have been taken from the room, we called our own.

I don't know where, I don't have a clue where that you're livin'.
I think about the pictures you're hangin' upon your walls.
Are they any indication of the life we shared, (that) you're makin' me lose.
I 'm walkin' through the memories surrounding me on these walls...of you and I together, I don't want to realize we're through.

Remember in the spring?(Getting up in the morning)
Remember Summer?
(Chased in by the tides)
Remember when the leaves were falling and winter crawling?
I miss the days you're holding.

I can't believe my eyes, you had feel goodbye, before your words.
(Before your tears, you were gone when you were here).
I've been sitting 'round here like some fool.
But now I know there's nothing left that I can do.
'Cuz I don't wanna leave and I don't wanna stay...
I don't wanna think at all!
Because you mean everything, to my world in every way.
So watch me shiver 'cuz you left me cold, I stand here crying on this day.
How could you want to be alone, when I've been saving all for you.
So now I'm tearing all the memories off these walls, it's all that I can do...'cuz now you're gone.
