Store

STORE (05/22/99)

I walked past you and you didn�t notice
How my eyes lit up with just the sight of you
I looked back to see if you noticed
But you just walked straight ahead

I saw you again today
Dining with a friend, I guess
I stopped outside to see if you noticed
But you got up and walked straight ahead.

I couldn�t help it, I followed you
You stopped at a store with the woman
You looked at her the way I used to be looked at
You laughed at something she might�ve said or done.

The laugh isn�t familiar, it�s strange
So is your eyes, so is your smile
You�re not him, you�re someone else
Just realizing it makes me wanna cry.

Now I know, he�s gone
I wish he could walk past me
Just like you normally do
So I could still love him from afar, with liberty.
