The first girl I saw and I felt this way
I met her back in '09 in a very long hallway
Right there she made me feel really whole and in a very hollow way
Cause my heart and soul, she had hauled away
All I wanted to do was to walk up to her, meet and holla hey
But she was so fly, it made me run'way
I was so afraid that any move would starkly rub her wrongly
All I could do was want her from my base, which felt far away
Look, She was brighter than the sun
Every time that I would see her walk by made me fall
It got me thinkin' bout all I could do that'll put her on
To me in a way that she could recognize my love
Yeah, I thought to write her a song
That could fully show her how I felt all in my words
That could make her see that for her heart I'm perfect for
That could make her understand and give back all that love
Why'd you have to run away
Don't you know you left me in a pile of pain
Since the day, you didn't say yes
My hope for love's been way less
Why'd you have to run away
Don't you know you left me in a pile of pain
Since the day, you didn't say yes
My hope for love's been way less
Damn! I had hoped that we'll fight to be one
Like opposite poles of a magnet's force
That we'd have, endured through it all
All the crests and troughs, in these waves of love
But the vision I painted for her she could not see it
All she did was read and gave a shoulder-shrugged demeanor
Then looked and said frankly, she was not into me really
My heart was so bankrupt, it was alone and depleted
Yeah, my hopes got shattered that dark evening, like a glass ceiling
With my heart beaten, trying to shun that heart break, damn, who am I kidding
Trying my best to process the weight of that empty feel, that feel was quite filling
All I wanted was some heart healing
And definitely not all these hard feelings
That's got me tripping like damn, I can't believe it
Like an oxy'd moron cause I'm placid yet I'm livid
Despite that, I had to do my best to stay sane
Looking for my closure, in all the ways that life plays
Trying not to resent her for not feeling the same way
Frozen in my boots, watching as she walked away
You walked away, walked away, walked away, yeah
You walked away, walked away, walked away, yeah
You walked away, walked away, walked away yeah
You walked away, walked away
Why'd you have to run away
Don't you know you left me in a pile of pain
Since the day, you didn't say yes
My hope for love's been way less
Why'd you have to run away
Don't you know you left me in a pile of pain
Since the day, you didn't say yes
My hope for love's been way less
