I went away

The first time I went away
I wrote to you every day
I told you everything I was doing
You’d ring me in the morning
You’d page me in the night
I missed you so much I couldn’t sleep without you
And I’d swear
«The way I feel
Is going to last forever»
When I came home
On the third weekend
I was so glad to see you
Everything was perfect
Everything felt right
And nothing had changed
The second time I went away
I didn’t want to go
But we agreed I had to get on with my life
So I slept in every morning
I went out every night
Until there were days when I hardly even thought of you
But I’d swear
«The way I feel
Is going to last forever»
When I came home for Christmas
I slept for a day
I felt nervous to see you
And all through the holidays
It seemed we’d grown apart
I felt I’d changed, but you’d stayed the same
The last time I went away
I think I knew it was over
So I went out and got drunk with my new friends
That was years ago
I’ve only seen you twice since then
Once at a party and once in the street
Now I don’t know where you are
Your family moved away
Oh I don’t even know what you are doing
But I’m sad and I miss you
And I’d kind of like to see you
And I swear
«The way I feel
Is going to last forever»
