The Day You Walked Away

The day you walked away
I didn't see it coming
You blew the doors wide open and everybody ran
The day you walked away
Fluorescent lights were humming

Everybody knows
Does everybody know the truth?
When I opened up my eyes
It wasn't any use
I can see now
What I didn't before
You loved me then but you don't anymore

The day you walked away
It was like nothing really mattered
Your ruby lips were moving and they could say no wrong
My friends and family say "Young man you should be flattered
By the plain and simple fact that she hung around so long"

Everybody knows
Does everybody know but me?
When I opened up my eyes
I wasn't looking for sympathy
I can see now
What I didn't before
You loved me then but you don't anymore
