Lyrics
When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone
Shocked disbelief upon reading a letter about the person leaving.
I dialed your number but no one answered the phone
Attempted to contact the person, but there was no response.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were
Sought information from friends about the person's whereabouts.
They said they thought that you were ill
Friends suggested the person might be unwell.
I hired a detective to try and find out where you are
Hired a detective to find out where the person is.
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France
Detected the person in France through the detective.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else's car
Witnessed the person entering someone else's car and leaving joyfully.
And drive off laughing in the night
Expressing the person's departure in a carefree manner.
Why didn't you tell me
Questioning why the person didn't communicate the departure.
Not leave me this way
Expressing sadness and confusion about being left this way.
Oooh, you could have told me
Regret that the person didn't disclose the departure earlier.
Not waited for so long
Expressing frustration at the prolonged waiting.
I tried to forget you but I find myself walking the street
Struggling to forget the person, wandering the streets.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep
Visited a doctor, likely due to emotional distress.
I've sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one
Attempts to reach the person through telegrams, all unanswered.
Your mother told me I best leave you well alone
Advised by the person's mother to stay away.
I hope you're satisfied, now you've done this thing to me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation created.
I hope you're pleased with what you've done
Questioning if the person is content with the consequences.
Why didn't you tell me
Reiterating the desire for the person to have communicated earlier.
Not leave me this way
Expressing discontent with being left in this manner.
Oooh, you could have told me
Regret that the person didn't disclose the departure earlier (repeated).
Not waited for so long
Expressing frustration at the prolonged waiting (repeated).
For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were
Realization about the true nature of the person after a long period.
For so long, I never realized the girl I had before
Reflecting on not recognizing the person's true self before.
For so long, I hope you're satisfied, you won't hear from me again
Expressing the decision to cut off communication.
For so long, I hope you're pleased with what you´d done
Questioning if the person is satisfied with the impact of their actions.
Why didn't you tell me
Reiterating the desire for the person to have communicated earlier (repeated).
Not leave me this way
Expressing discontent with being left in this manner (repeated).
Oooh, you should have told me
Regret that the person didn't disclose the departure earlier (repeated).
Not waited for so long
Expressing frustration at the prolonged waiting (repeated).
