the shadow of my smile

you were so beautiful last night
i didn't want to let you stay
we weren't supposed to be this way
i think it's odd that we go on like this
do you still think i can walk on water
it started raining and you looked at me
you'll always think of me when it rains
at least i have that much on you
this morning could've lasted forever
i wish i could make you walk backwards
so i could pretend you were coming back to me
there was no fighting this time
just a stranger who gave up something he wanted
and a lover who isn't afraid to be alone
i noticed the tequila still in the shot glass
at least we had a good night
i just hope you don't regret it this time
i have to wonder is it waiting for me
or did you forget to finish before you left
well at least you thought you wanted it
and i'm left here all alone again
but you never say good-bye anymore
i could wait for you to come back
you could try it again
i'll wait quietly here with a tequila grin
hoping to see you walk away again
