Poema - Clean Getaway

 

It happened in an instant
The midnight voices got through
You were feeling fenced in
You grabbed a change of clothes and your best shoes
Did you even pack a single photograph of me
One little memory
You thought it would be easy
Maybe it was for you

:: Chorus ::
I watched you walk away
I still don?t know why
I guess you were running
And from my windowpane I started to cry
And if there?s a single sound I?ll never forget
It?s your engine rumbling
Wish you?d seen the mess that you made
With your clean getaway


Standing in the hallway
I hear the echo of your footsteps
Blue eyes and your last name
Are the only things that you left
Are we still a family, did you ever love me
Were you ever happy
Doubt I?ll ever know
Hope you find what you?re looking for

:: Bridge ::
When I grow up, I?ll never be like you
When I grow up, I?ll never be like you, like you

:: Down Chorus ::
Cause I watched you walk away, I still don?t know why
And from my windowpane I started to cry
