lyrics

THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY
(Logan)

Waking up from the dark to a brand new day
Hoping that love would blossom from decay
I see the sunrise
I feel the heat rise
Ears filled with empty words and broken promises
The day you went away

Falling apart, a separation sheds new light
Treading on broken glass
It’s hard to stand and fight
I see the sunrise
Upturned and capsized
Sodden with empty dreams and no direction since
The day you went away

I can remember the feelings of elation
Running as if my feet had wings
I’d fly so high
Hitting the ground
That truth and devastation
Almost split me right in two
What was I to do?
I used to think you were the perfect lover
How was I to know you’d trip me up and say goodbye
Gravel on my knees
I knew I could be whole again
Along love’s avenue
Walking tall and true

Waking up from the dark to a brand new day
Knowing that love will blossom from decay
I see the sunrise
I feel the heat rise
Head filled with shiny new ideas and positives
You’re gone!
You went away

I’m looking back and thankful that the sun did rise
The day you went away
