Lyrics
As I watched you leave
Expressing the experience of watching someone depart.
I felt a seed, but decided not to cry
Feeling the beginning of emotional pain but choosing not to show it through tears.
I wandered why, you said "Goodbye"
Questioning the reason for the goodbye and expressing confusion.
I keep the pain inside
Keeping the emotional distress internally, not letting it show outwardly.
BRIDGE:

I can't believe you turned and walked away
Expressing disbelief at the departure and the act of leaving.
Left me all alone up in the rain
Describing the feeling of being left alone in the rain.
Everynight I lie awake and pray
Expressing nightly prayers for a potential return of the departed person.
That you will come back to me someday
Hopeful desire for the person to come back in the future.

Can't get over you...
