This is the first song I wrote that I still have. I wrote this during my three years break from dating after a nervous breakdown over a cheating ex-girlfriend. Definately a country song...
I have to force a smile
Whenever you're around
It's so hard to escape from you
In this little town
Everytime I see you
It hurts a little more
I know my friends all wonder
What I'm still crying for
Why did you take your love away
Was it something that I didn't do
Or that I didn't say
Why did you take your love away
Could I have made it up to you
Could I have made you stay
Every night I see you
Come back in my dreams
I cry and I hold you
Oh, how real it seems
The sunlight in the morning
Steals you love away
I've got find an answer
It hurts more every day
Why did you take your love away
Was it something that I didn't do
Or that I didn't say
Why did you take your love away
Could I have made it up to you
Could I have made you stay
What made you turn from me
And walk into the rain
Baby, help me find a way
A way to stop this pain
Why did you take your love away
Was it something that I didn't do
Or that I didn't say
Why did you take your love away
Could I have made it up to you
Could I have made you stay...
