I SEE HER TICKET THERE ON THE TABLE
AND THE TAXI THAT'S WAITIN' IN THE DRIVE
AND I SEE THE SUITCASE AND I SEE I'M NOT ABLE
TO SIT HERE AND WATCH HER SAY GOODBYE
SO I CLOSE MY EYES AS SHE WALKS OUT THE DOOR
THE CLOCK KEEPS ON TICKING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT FOR
I NEVER SAW IT COMING 'TIL IT CAME APART
'TIL I SAW THE LIGHT, DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN THE DARK
NO I NEVER SAW THE PIECES 'TIL THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO BREAK
AND I NEVER SAW THE TEARS, 'TIL THEY RAN DOWN HER FACE
ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER, A RECENT PICTURE
JUST A RANDOM SHOT, I'M STANDING AT HER SIDE
LOOKING AT IT NOW, HOW DID I MISS IT
THE SORROW THAT HER LAUGHTER COULDN'T HIDE
LIKE HER I'M SEEING SOME THINGS BECOME CLEAR
ONLY WHEN YOU SEE THEM THOSE TEARS
