When I Saw You Leaving (For Nicey)

Ain’t it funny how, in a minute, your whole life’s looking fine

And a short few words later it all just comes untied?

You can’t believe you’re looking at what was always someone else

Now it’s staring right back at you, yesterday you couldn’t tell

So shock and dissolution, helpless and confused

Not knowing how and what to say, not accepting that it’s true.

You can’t help but see the worst to come a thousand different ways

The same time trying to hold on strong in optimistic games.

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving

When I saw you leaving in my mind.

And the angry starts to surface, looking up, asking why

And you realize he probably wants the best, as same as I

Days just go by quickly, nights just never end

As time gets so more precious, every sunrise and old friend

Trying to be opposed, to lean on, a part you learn is hard to play

Asking God to let you take her place or just take it all away.

Hope you’ll wake up in the morning, was all just been a dream

You never take for granted every second that you breathe.

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving

When I saw you leaving in my mind.

And the seconds turn to minutes

And minutes wouldn’t last

And the hours, days and weeks and months

Seem endless and too fast

And the lessons just pour from Heaven

Like the rain on that first spring

Since that moment I first saw you

You might not always be with me.

When I saw you leaving, when I saw you leaving

When I saw you leaving in my mind.

Ain’t it funny how, in a minute, your whole life’s looking fine

And a short few words later it all just comes untied?
