To a poet

And you said, "Don´t give me nothing
You don´t want to lose"
I said, "Darling, I´ll give you everything I got
If I want them to choose"
Then I got on a plane and flew
Far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
And it was so, so hard to do
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
With the whitest of snow
And they don´t make no excuse for themselves
And there´s no need, I know
Now I miss you more than I can take
And I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it´s the same
There´s nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
It always takes me by surprise
How dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
That you´re not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
And facing those fears
But Frank put it best when he said
"You can´t plan on the heart"
Those words keep me on my feet
When I think I might just fall apart
Now I miss you more than I can take
And I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it´s the same
There´s nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
And so I ask where are you now
Just when I needed you
I won´t ask again
Because I know there´s nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it´s true
You don´t want to lose"
I said, "Darling, I´ll give you everything I got
If I want them to choose"
Then I got on a plane and flew
Far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
And it was so, so hard to do
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
With the whitest of snow
And they don´t make no excuse for themselves
And there´s no need, I know
Now I miss you more than I can take
And I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it´s the same
There´s nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
It always takes me by surprise
How dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
That you´re not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
And facing those fears
But Frank put it best when he said
"You can´t plan on the heart"
Those words keep me on my feet
When I think I might just fall apart
Now I miss you more than I can take
And I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it´s the same
There´s nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
Oh, there´s nothing more to it
I just get through it
And so I ask where are you now
Just when I needed you

Because I know there´s nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it´s true
