Unseen Departure
(ooh-ooh) I was only eight
when you walked away
Left the screen door
swinging in the gray
Said you wanted nothing left of me
Now you're just a ghost I still can't free (ahhhh) I miss
you,
but I can't forgive you
For the empty years you left behind
Yeah, I miss you,
but I can't forgive you
Still trying to heal my mind (oh-oh-oh)
Saw a picture of us
on the wall today
Tried to wash
the bitter taste away
But the years have grown a heavy wall
I don't know who you are at all
I miss you, but I can't forgive you
For the empty years you left behind
Yeah, I miss you,
but I can't forgive you
Still trying to heal my mind
Eight years old, standing on the floor
Watching you close that heavy door (no,
no)
How could you
leave a child behind?
How could you be
so blind?
I miss you
But I can't forgive you (hmmmm)
