When I Saw You Leaving

Ain't it funny how, in a minute, your whole life's looking fineAnd a short few words later it all just comes untied?You can't believe you're looking at what was always someone elseNow it's staring right back at you, yesterday you couldn't tellSo shock and dissolution, helpless and confusedNot knowing how and what to say, not accepting that it's true.You can't help but see the worst to come a thousand different waysThe same time trying to hold on strong in optimistic games.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.And the angry starts to surface, looking up, asking whyAnd you realize he probably wants the best, as same as IDays just go by quickly, nights just never endAs time gets so more precious, every sunrise and old friendTrying to be opposed, to lean on, a part you learn is hard to playAsking God to let you take her place or just take it all away.Hope you'll wake up in the morning, was all just been a dreamYou never take for granted every second that you breathe.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.And the seconds turn to minutesAnd minutes wouldn't lastAnd the hours, days and weeks and monthsSeem endless and too fastAnd the lessons just pour from HeavenLike the rain on that first springSince that moment I first saw youYou might not always be with me.When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leavingWhen I saw you leaving in my mind.Ain't it funny how, in a minute, your whole life's looking fineAnd a short few words later it all just comes untied?vinicius_vet
