She tried to hold me for a while
She tried to whisper in my sleep
She tried to tell me not to go
I tried to tell her not to weep
She showed me pictures on her phone
Sitting in the empty room
She smoked the next 'last cigarette'
Said she's "really quitting soon"
In the two years I have known her
She has never shed a tear
But I guess I always told her
What she wanted to hear
We talked of things that we remembered
Every song we ever wrote
Every dissonant crescendo
Every fleeting passing note
Every tiny little worry
Every giant crushing fear
Every failure and triumph
She recounted in my ear
Every face that I encountered
That has changed my life for good
Every warning sign and red flag
I misunderstood
And I misunderstood
We agreed it was the end
Of a pretty decent run
And now the keys are given in
It can never be undone
And I probably wouldn't see her
For at least a little while
But I'm thankful that I knew her
And made her smile
And made her smile
//So if you see her, let me know
