I look across the room, 

and you're smiling back at me.

I open up my eyes,

and I'm terrified to see

that you are gone.

​

I look across again,

and I see your smilin' eyes.

I look across once more, 

but it's too late to realize

that you are gone.

 

You are gone.

​

Maybe it was better having you here

so near to me.

But maybe it is better now that you're away.

You never heard a word I'd say anyway,

even though I tried

to let you know that I care.

I tried to let you know I'd be there

if you need a friend forever.

​

I look across for the last time,

and I pray that you'll be there.

I open up my eyes,

and all I see

is air.
