It Never Crossed My Mind

Lyrics

He left a note on the pillow Said he won't be coming home That he never made a promise To me, now's he free How can I just let it be It never crossed my mind I'd run out of time And I wouldn't be the one He would choose to love I must have been half blind Cause I didn't see goodbye Or that I would be the one left behind It never crossed my mind Tore in half all the pictures Gave away all his things With every tear of a portrait A bitter sting a broken dream Purge my soul of memories I won't be holding on I'm done I'm through I won't waste one more breath or one more tear on you But it never crossed my mind He'd come back this time He says that I'm the one He would choose to love But I think that I'll move on 'Cause this wound has made me strong And to think that I'm the one to say goodbye It never crossed my mind
