You left a message last night

And it scared me, 

The words you said

I thought it was a good bye

For...forever

You see, I'm not ready to let you go 

Even if we argue 

I'm not ready for this good bye 

And I know you're not either

So I panicked, and in the hours of the night i cried

I thought I was too late

I told everyone I could, 

And called you again and again 

Just to hear your voice say "I'm Ok"

The next day,

We wondered where you were

And if it meant that

Your absence confirmed our worst nightmare

We didn't know what

To do

To say

Whether to ask

Or to keep our silence

Then the next day you breezed in 

 Said you were fine,

It was just a joke 

 Well, I didn't find it funny 

And neither did my tears, 

Cried in the dead of the night

Our tears

Cried in the dead of the night

And when I saw you

I felt the anger

 Sear through my veins 

 But I shouted at you for making me cry

 And making her cry, and her cry, and her cry 

 And I shouted at you because I care

And I will always care

I'm sorry I shouted, 

 But now you know why 

 And you better not make jokes 

 About terrible things
