You know you're beautiful, like no one else,
I've seen the way you hold yourself:
That shameless poise as you just pass through
Holding my heart like I belonged to you
What is it you do not see
That makes it easy to discard me?
What is it you love so much more
That you'd walk out and shut the door?
You know you're talented, so self-made,
I've seen the wealth and the accolades:
Dropped a trifle in my palm,
Wrote me off without a qualm
What is it makes you cease to care
Despite all that we vowed to share?
What is it you want so much less
That you'd shatter my heart, leave it a mess?
You know you're wildly skilled at love,
I remember the things we'd both dream of:
That passionate demand in my ear
Making me wish I could hold you near
What is it makes you disappear,
Pretend we were not, then wander clear?
What is it that you have with her
To pretend you and I never were?
You know your life's so very nice,
Family so lovely as to entice,
Home so calm, my dreams I'd sell
If I didn't know your wishes well
What is it makes you shield your heart
When we've managed this belated start?
What is it makes you act this way
Where I'm damned sure you'll go away?
You know you're just so very smart
I gave you my life to take apart,
I'd have been with you a million years
But you left me spilling a heart full of tears
What is it that you loathed so much,
You tore me apart, gave so rare a touch?
What is it makes you blind to see
That it was your problem more than it was me?
