lyrics

As the world looked on and frowned, why did I stay
But I stood on the bend of the road as you faded away
It's then that I noticed the breeze
Or was something else moving the trees

Why did you run when you did
Should I have done what I did
Who am I trying to kid, it’s done
Now I’m lying awake in the dark

It was late but I didn’t care, the evening was clear
If I’d stopped to look at the night would you still be here
Should I have just left you there
Or helped you to crawl on somewhere

Why did you run when you did (where were you running to)
Should I have done what I did (I didn’t know what else to do)
Who am I trying to kid, it’s done
Now I’m lying awake in the dark
