I went away - Spearmint

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»
