Weather man said it's gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold

Mid-February shouldn't be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you, I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I'm not afraid

Your favorite records make me feel better
'Cause you sing along with every song
I know you didn't mean to give them to me

But you went away
How dare you, I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know
When I see it in stone

'Cause you went away,
How dare you, I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you
