Came To See You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I came to see you today
But you weren't at home
So I decided to go for a walk instead
I hope you had a lovely day
Successful in every way
But please don't think I'm trying to interfere
Or wonder what I'm doing here outside your door
It always led to complications
Well, hello, it seems a long time
Since we spent a few months
Living here together
And if a month is not forever
That's the way it seemed then
Even so, like everything it ended
Even though there was no special reason
It just seemed out of season
But it doesn't matter cause it had to happen
I need you now
More than I ever think I did before
In all the time I've known you
And if you think that it's outgrown you
Don't believe us
I suppose it should be long forgotten
Ending be, I shouldn't be remembering
Things that are not in henning
Doubt that it's about left but I'm wondering
I came to see you today
But you weren't at home
So I decided to go for a walk instead
I hope you had a lovely day
Successful in every way
But please don't think I'm trying to interfere
Or wonder what I'm doing here outside your head
It always led to complications
