Going through the motions
I bet she tried to warn me
And I didn't even notice

Till I got home and found her gone
Left with just a letter
Folded with a key on top
Sitting on the dresser

I opened it
It simply read

Look and you will find me
I won't be that far
I'll be right here waiting
For you with open arms

I don't want to live without you
But I can't go on like this
Torn between the man I love
And the one I'm living with

It's a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
I know that I need you
But you have to need me too
So if you get home and miss me in your life
You'll find me

I called her family
Asked everyone who knows her
Telling them in detail
All the things I should have told her

How much she really means to me
And how much I'm regretting
But so far no one's heard from her
And all that I am left with

Is how I let her go
And the letter she wrote
"Saying you'll find me"

I spent the next eight hours
Wondering where on earth you were
It was getting late, I was getting tired
And growing more concerned

When all at once it hit me
That piano bar back home
Where I asked you to marry me
And there you were alone

I knew I would find you
And how it warmed my heart
To see you right there waiting
For me with open arms

Said I don't know where I'm going
But I can't go on like this
The thought of life without you
Is something I just can't live with

It's a conflict of emotion
To my heart I must be true
You told me that you need me
Well, girl I need you too

So if you come home
And want me in your life
You'll find me
You'll find me
You'll find me

Going through the motions
I bet she tried to warn me
