sixteen  months just wasn't  long enough
 to change your mind
but  I'm sure you knew  that all along
I  was much too young
 and you were much  too far away  to think
 that I  might think about  you when you're  gone
what  did you wear  how steep  was your climb
what  did you have  in your pockets  at the time
 how long  did it take  how much  did you care
 what side  of the street  did they find  you waiting there
 x2
sixteen  months leaves little  to remember  even though
 I have the photographs  to prove  that you were  there
now  and then I think  about the way  you might have been
 but other times  I'm just so angry  I don't care
what  did you say  and who  did you tell
what  could I have done
 that might have saved  you from yourself
how  did it feel  and what  went through your mind
 what did they do  with all the things  you left behind
 x4
