Silent Pain

I watched you lay there in silent pain
I watched you lay look at me in silent pain
Your eyes speaking without volume
You tried hard to speak to me

There wasn’t much I could do
I wasn’t good to you this day
There wasn’t much I could do
And I said … you would be in good hands

I didn’t give you what you needed
I saw you asking, but I turned my back
I didn’t know what to do, it was not enough
All I could do was out of my control

This day wasn’t meant to be this way
The spring was about us
With summer days a coming
There was more I wanted to do with you
The things I had planned for us

There wasn’t much I could do
I wasn’t good to you this day
There wasn’t much I could do
And I said you would be in good hands…

It wasn’t the morning I didn’t want to see
You left me even though I know why
It was not how this was planned
The day I lost you wasn’t my day.
