Someone to Lose
Scared that
Any moment
Could be
Earth shaking
Never knowing
If she'll be staying
Never knowing
What's going to happen
Scrambling for more time
What if you never see him again?
Your mind races
With questions and doubts.
Why do you grasp in the air
For answers you know aren't there?
What will happen tomorrow?
Will there be terrible news?
She's not coming back
He's left and gone
Shaking in my shoes
Is this what it feels like
To have someone
To lose?
