Eternal - Absent From You lyrics

Maybe I misunderstood I thought I was due a reprove I don't want these feelings to end But why am I lonely in bed I cried all my tears on my pillow Feeling ashamed of my fears Millions of lies you've told me Why can't I just pretend [Chorus:] Said you had to go And now I'm missing you Been away so long Now I'm missing you Had to be this way Still I cry away Absent from you As I watched all my friends play I'm remembering your games You took another in my place While I was away you told her you'd stay Love's not a game and you ought not to play Diamonds have never fallen my way Leave now, just go, keep walking away You broke my heart in a day Did it really have to be this way You upped and left and flew away And left me with an empty heart No longer cherishing each night and day Hoping you'll be by my side I don't want to pretend my heart's breaking [Chorus]
