Pepper’s Song

Just one look was all it took
Something right out of a book
How is it I fell so fast?
How is it I fell so hard?

I never wanted it to end
All I can do now is pretend.
I imagine you here at my side
Do you know how much I cried?

How the hell can I go on?
What the hell can I do?
I only feel like this because of you.

I gave you everything
You could have ever wanted.
Everyone else was pushed away
All because I wanted you to stay.

Now alone, with time on my hands
I guess I’ll have to make other plans.
Never again do I want to feel this way
I want to know why you couldn’t stay.

Did you really have to go away?
Could I have done anything to make you stay?
Why can’t I just let you go?
All I really need to know:

Do you know I love you?
Do you know I always think about you?
Did you know we will meet again?
Oh most certainly, in the end.
