Didn't you ever wonder why
I packed your bags and said goodbye
And never, ever said to you don't go
Swore to myself I wouldn't cry
Couldn't you tell it was a lie
Realized my fate too late to let you know
Bridge:
Hear me calling out your name
You know that nothing is the same
So tell me how long are we going to play this game
Chorus:
4000 miles from nowhere
Baby, hang up your phone
Forget my name, my number
Don't call, I won't be home
Remember how we once were
Forget you ever knew
That 4000 miles from this place
So long ago I fell in love with you
The days all seemed like years to me
I never knew the tears would be
Like bitter rain, the terrain of my soul
Wore down a little more each day
Until I knew there was no way
To stay a part while my heart took the toll
Bridge
Chorus
Didn't you ever wonder why
I packed your bags and said goodbye
And never, ever said to you don't go
Although I swore I'd never cry
I wish you could have seen inside
I sealed my fate and now you'll never know
Bridge
Chorus
