I thought I saw your face today.

Though I knew it was only in my brain,

It hurt when you didn't stay.

 

My hopes were in the way,

daydreams, memories, crossing stray -

I thought I saw your face today.

 

It hit me hard, like pouring rain:

maybe you were here, somehow, someway -

It hurt when you didn't stay.

 

All my dreams of you turn gray,

but one bright picture still remains -

I thought I saw your face today.

 

But I watched you walk away,

a jumping record, a swirling drain -

It hurt when you didn't stay.

 

Freshly ripped all over again,

I dropped my head and burnt with shame.

I thought I saw your face today.

It hurt when you didn't stay.
