I found it right here on the table

That letter you left for me today

Just a handful of scribbled words

And most of it sounds quite absurd



Do you know the feeling

I know the feeling well

To go into the great unknown

Knowing all the doors behind are shut



You did not leave an address so I guess

You had no interest

In my possible reply

Though I've never been a man of words

Right now there is a thing or two

I would really like to say



Do you know the feeling

I know the feeling well

To be hurt but try to hide it

To know the truth but still deny it

To put on a brave face



I could have stood the pain

The tears and the blame

I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me

But what I just can't accept

Is the simple fact

You just quietly went out of here



I know we went from day to day

Trying not to state what was clear

For both of us to see

If it had to come to an end

Then why not do it with

A shred of honesty



Do you know the feeling

I know the feeling well

To always search but never find

To run but still be left behind

To finish second best



I could have stood the pain

The tears and the blame

I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me

But what I just can't accept

Is the simple fact

You just quietly went out of here



How could it ever hurt so bad

Where it used to feel so good



I won't ask you to come back

I won't ask you to stay

But I want you to listen to

What I've got to say



I don't want your apology

I don't need your sympathy

All I want from you is

Just a minute of your time



May I please remind you it was you who said

I was too r
