[Verse 1]
I was searching for something
That I had all the time
What I needed the most was already mine
I didn't know I'd be missing
What was standing by me
The closest thing to me
Was the hardest to see
[Chorus]
I can see her now crying all alone
And then one day she wouldn't cry
And I knew her love was gone
I found what I'd been searching for
The day she set me free
The closest thing to me
Was the hardest to see
[Chorus]
I can see her now crying all alone
And then one day she wouldn't cry
And I knew her love was gonе
I found what I'd been searching for
The day she sеt me free
The closest thing to me
Was the hardest to see
