While you were away

While you were away

She drowned herself in sorrow

While you were away

She couldn't see tomorrow



While you were away

The salt stung her eyes

While you were away

She thought of goodbyes



While you were away

She felt her broken heart

While you were away

She fell apart



While you were away

She sat there alone

While you were away

She heard no calls to her phone



While you were away

She tried to dry her tears

While you were away

They came back with her fears



While you were away

She felt it was the day

And then you came back

And there she lay...
