All That You Need

When you were here before
When things were the same
When you made all the promises
Before it was a game

You looked me in the eyes
Said I was all that you need
And my heart believed you
You were easy to read

I wanted you to notice
When I was not there
And you’d want to be with me
An answer to your prayers

But now my heart hurts
There is no truth to see
Everything has changed now
Everything I believed

Where is it you have gone
Why did you leave me behind
All that’s left is emptiness
I have no piece of mind

Whatever you want
I’m sure you will find
I’m part of your history
That you left behind
