Broke up with Janeth

You were there!

 

I guess you've heard.

I guess you know in time I might have told you,

But I guess I'm too slow.

That's overly romantic, but I know it's real.

I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel.

It's like I'm in somebody else's dream.

This could not be happening to me.

 

But you were there!

And you were everything I'd never seen.

You woke me up form this long and empty sleep I was alone.

I opened my eyes, and you were there!

 

Don't be alarmed.

Don't be concerned.

I don't wanna change things.

Leave them just as they were.

I mean nothing's really different.

It's me who feels strange.

I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name.

I know that I'll get over this for sure.

I'm not the type who dreams there could be more.

 

Can I take your smile home with me, or the magic in your hair?

 

The rain has stopped.

The storm has passed.

Look at all the colors.

Now, the sun's here at last.

I suppose that you'll be leaving, but I want you to know

Part of you stays with me even after you go.

Like an actor playing someone else's scene,

This could not be happening to me.

 

But you were there!

And you were everything I'd never seen.

You woke me up from this long and endless sleep I was alone.

I opened my eyes, and now I'm not alone.

I'm not alone.

I opened my eyes, and you were there!
