couldn't sing until you left
might even be on key
but there's no song written
that brings you back to me

couldn't play until you said good bye
chords come so easily
but there's no rhythm to the strumming
without you here by me

didn't draw since meeting you
pen and paper fills the time
but there's no art to see
visions of you renders blind

didn't dance when you wanted me
body moves just fine
but there's no music playing
that will make your's move with mine

should have moved to be with you
left town shortly anyway
but there's no destination
to bring me where you'll stay

should have asked when I had the chance
decided early, waited far too late
but there's no ring so well made
to make you change our fate
