Down, Down, Down

Driving down the road on Tuesday morning
Marking how the highway looks familiar
Wondering how to handle when I get there
Every shape reminding me of you

Didn't take a lot to know that I would miss you
Took your absence just to know how hard it'd be
Took your silence to remind me that I'm crazy
Took a bottle close and gave you back your key

So why'd you stay?
And why'd you say the things you did
When you could see that I was falling

Was it madness to believe that you could love me
Just a foolish girl who craves a final bow?
Do you tell yourself you saved me from your story?
Look me in the eye, then turn away somehow

So why'd you stay?
And why'd you say the things you did
When you could see that I was falling
See that I was falling

And are you happy that the outcome is the same?
Do you know how many times I've mulled this over?
And do you promise to stay far enough away
Till I can see your face
Without it being close to mine

A quiet morning and the sun is on the sidewalk
I see the seasons changing and I mark the difference
I find myself daydreaming now about the highway
Wish you'd come around but hate and need the distance

So why'd you stay?
And why'd you say the things you did
When you could see that I was falling
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
