The morning was slow moving
Just like so many in the past
Trying to erase the traces
From the night that just passed
I was left with my thoughts
Felt a strong sense of regret
If you could live a thousand lifetimes
Some things you'll never forget
Why had I waited too long
To ask what I needed to know
And why did you leave with no good-bye
Just like a fading rainbow
I can still see your smiles
Cause in my dreams you're still here
But with my eyes wide open
I can't find you anywhere
Maybe you thought I couldn't become
Who you wanted me to be
Maybe I took too much for granted
In those smiles you had for me
Why had I waited too long
To ask what I needed to know
And why did you leave with no good-bye
Just like a fading rainbow
Sometime the ones we love
Suddenly slip away
With no clear answer
Just why they didn't stay
Why had I waited too long
To ask what I needed to know
And why did you leave with no good-bye
Just like a fading rainbow
Why had I waited too long—waited too long
