Now That You Are Gone

what if I pretend you never left, 

Never broke my heart,

What if I pretend to still be whole,

Never broken apart.

 

What if I told you I loved you once,

until you moved away,

What if I told you you'd have my heart,

If only you had stayed.

 

What if I said there was someone new,

If only just pretend,

What if I actually fell in love,

with the brother of a friend?

 

What if I spent my days and nights,

obsessing over this boy,

instead of you it would be him,

treating my heart like a toy.

 

What if I asked you not to come back,

Because I have moved on,

Even though it hurts I'm better now,

Now that you are gone.
