Coming Back

Coming Back
You see I got a little busy
And I had no time to spare
I had hoped you wouldn't notice
That I didn't even seem to care

When I'd force myself to visit
We would talk about the weather
Pretend we'd get together
At a later date that slipped my mind
As soon as I had said goodbye
When are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
I was distracted by the scenery
The distance left me unprepared
To deal with being helpless
Knowing you were breathing liquid air
I had always meant to say goodbye
But cancer didn't advertise
That I should just apologize
To some degree I felt relieved
I knew you would be haunting me
When are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
