lyrics

I don't know where I am,
But I sure know where I'm going
See I went left while you stayed right,
Now you're completely out of sight to me.

Well this is how the feeling goes,
When you don't look, and you don't know
What's in your heart
And I've seen this thing before,
When I loved you and nothing more.

Well sometimes it seems that all my dreams
Just crash and burn but I never learn
Cause when I see your photograph
It takes me back oh lord it takes me back,
To the first time, that I saw you

I don't know where you are,
But I pray to God you're happy,
I hope you found a better man,
A better man than I could be

If you ever think of me,
Please know I never meant to hurt you,
But sometimes it just aint right
and I just did not have the strength to fight with you

Well sometimes it seems that all my dreams
Just crash and burn but I never learn
Cause when I see your photograph
It takes me back oh lord it takes me back,
To the first time, that I saw you
