Where Did It All Go Wrong?
You wanted to leave
I could not make you stay
You’d made up your mind
All the talking was done
So early one morning
I helped you pack up your car
Checked all the tires
And topped of the oil
You gave me a hug
And you kissed me goodbye
And I watched as your car
Rolled down the long gravel drive
In the blink of an eye
You were gone from my life
In the blink of an eye
You were gone
Now you are miles and a lifetime away
And the years have faded the memories
But sometimes I see an old picture of you
And I wonder, ‘cause its all I have left of you
Where did you go?
Where are you now?
Why did you run so fast?
You never even let me try?
How come you left all your pictures behind?
How come your dreams never included me?
Did you want to forget me?
Did you just want to leave it all behind?
Where did it all go wrong?
Am I the only one who believed
In the words that the preacher said?
Am I the only one who believed
That we ever had any chance at all?
Where did you go?
Where are you now?
Why did you run so fast?
Why couldn’t I even try?
How come you left all your pictures behind?
How come your dreams never included me?
Did you want to forget me?
Did you just want to leave it all behind?
Where did it all go wrong?

hi.
well, as far as I’m concerned, you don’t seem to have any problems with lyrics. It reads well, especially knowing ahead of time that it’s going to be a song. What type of music to go along?
I can hear an acoustic guitar, maybe a harp. Of course I always hear those, I’m a bit dylan-influenced.
Reads great though.

well written…
Ah, come on. Post the poem you wrote:)
Always we have so many unaswered questions. I believe it was Seneca who said that time heals what reason cannot. Good job.
“How come your dreams never included me?”
this one line made the poem for me
I quit here …I am so close to tears right now
you write so beautiful!
