Because

I saw you last night
the first time in years
that I felt my eyes lay
like they used to

you were dying inside
to tell me the things
that were new about you
but it really didn't matter

because it really wouldn't
because it really couldn't
change all those things
that made you regret
ever wanting me

You always could believe in,
the words my eyes would say
a fiction masquerade of vision
designed to keep you at bay

I always had my heart,
sewn on my sleeve,
or so I had you believe,
an ignited torch that never burned

Even now, still you strike me
words have not been invented
to describe the beauty I see
but it really didn't matter

because it really wouldn't
because it really couldn't
change all those things
that made you regret
ever wanting me

Once again we said goodbye,
I saw your eyes asking why?
I wanted you just like before
but it really didn't matter

because it really wouldn't
because it really couldn't
change all those things
that made you regret
ever wanting me
