Like She Did
He swung
And he missed
He misses her
When it rains
Her eyes
They always reminded him
Of green oceans
Wide open
Sad and hopeful
Hair spun of sugar
And now he sits there
And with that old photo
He wonders
What went wrong
And he prays
He'll move on
Like she did
It's been awhile
Since he smiled
The way he smiled
When she was his
He can't remember
The last time
He laughed
Like he used to
He misses her
When it rains most
The cost
Was so much more
Then he could've ever dreamed
He turned around
He let her down
And she was gone
And he prays
He'll move on
Like she did
He thinks of her
Every day
Every minute
He wonders
How long forever is
And if that's his life now
Sitting around
In this sleepy town
Hanging out
And praying
She'll come back around
Sweep in
Get under his skin
He knows
He'll die
Loving her
But every day
He prays
He'll find it in himself
To turn away
Be strong
And move one
Like she did
But he knows
Deep down
There is no moving on
From her
