This Day Would Come

It was love. Every hour, every minute.
The kind of love you don't notice until you're in it.
You try to run. You try to get away but it's much too late,
and the only way to part is to break the heart you gave at the start.

So you cry... for a year or two.
You want to die, you think your life is through.
But the sun goes on rising and you get to work on time.
A year later she calls you and you tell her that you're fine.

You know you loved her once.
It was on that day she smiled at you, she was standing in the kitchen.
You knew she was the one.
The wife and kids, the house and car, and everything that had been missing.
You knew that she would run.
So you kept your mouth shut. You kept your mouth shut.
You knew this day would come.
You never held her and some featureless wave came and carried her away.

You achieve what they think you should.
You believe them when they say you're good at some things.
But inside you've got nothing.
You are cold, you live without your light.
You feel old, you miss her every night.
There's a hole in your heart that just won't stop crying,
but your friends keep calling so you tell them that you're fine.

You know you did everything right.
She said she loved you but she left you, said she needed to forget you.
You know she just needed to fly.
She said she's grateful that you saved her but she can't return the favour.
You know you were a hero for her,
You held her, you kept her, you bled for her, you wept for her.
You know you can't afford it anyway, but still you carried her away.

You know you loved her once.
It was on that day she smiled at you, she was standing in the kitchen.
You knew she was the one.
The wife and kids, the house and car, and everything that had been missing.
You knew that she would run.
So you kept your mouth shut. You kept your mouth shut.
You knew this day would come.
You tried to hold her but some featureless wave came and carried her away.
You knew this day would come,

You knew... You knew... You knew this day would come.
But the sun goes on rising and you get to work on time,
and your friends keep calling so you tell them that you're fine.
'cause you knew this day would come.
You knew this day would come
