The hours pass so slowly now that he's gone.
And if I hear him call I couldn't go on
I'm only playing games
I see lovers but I can't recall their names.
A vicious circle that I can't seem to break.
The constant aching every morning I wake.
Fighting the urge to cry
And again and again there's the question why...

(JUST LIKE THAT!)
He slipped into my life as smug as a cat.
He was handsome and smart, walked away with my heart.
(JUST LIKE THAT!)
He took a temporary home in my flat,
Telling innocent lies, throwing dust in my eyes.
And I led him on knowing that someday soon he'd be gone.
(JUST LIKE THAT!)
As though he'd only stopped a while for a chat
All my secrets he learned, leaving no stone unturned.

I'd like to call him but it would be insane.
To hear his voice would only bring back the pain
Sad as it is to say,
It would be even worse if he had his way.
So here I am, my life, I've kept moving on
The hours pass so slowly now that he's gone.
Only the faintest hope
That someday he'll return. Heaven help me cope.
