I searched for joy in song and tune,
Hoped it would chase away the gloom.
I stole one night beneath the moon—
Tried to smile… but not with you.

I know this longing more than most,
A poison sipped, a deadly dose.
Ashamed of tears I couldn’t lose,
Tried to dry them… not with you.

I waited for your light to rise,
From where you left beneath the skies.
You sold me out for shallow lies,
Tried to return… but not with you.

They said you married—broke my mind,
Burned all your words I’d ever find.
The noose I kissed so many times…
Tried to die… but not with you.
