I found it right here on the table
  That letter you left for me today
  Just a handful of scribbled words
  And most of it sounds quite absurd
  
  Do you know the feeling
  I know the feeling well
  To go into the great unknown
  Knowing all the doors behind are shut
  
  You did not leave an address so I guess
  You had no interest
  In my possible reply
  Though I've never been a man of words
  Right now there is a thing or two
  I would really like to say
  
  Do you know the feeling
  I know the feeling well
  To be hurt but try to hide it
  To know the truth but still deny it
  To put on a brave face
  
  I could have stood the pain
  The tears and the blame
  I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
  But what I just can't accept
  Is the simple fact
  You just quietly went out of here
  
  I know we went from day to day
  Trying not to state what was clear
  For both of us to see
  If it had to come to an end
  Then why not do it with
  A shred of honesty
  
  Do you know the feeling
  I know the feeling well
  To always search but never find
  To run but still be left behind
  To finish second best
  
  I could have stood the pain
  The tears and the blame
  I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
  But what I just can't accept
  Is the simple fact
  You just quietly went out of here
  
  How could it ever hurt so bad
  Where it used to feel so good
  
  I won't ask you to come back
  I won't ask you to stay
  But I want you to listen to
  What I've got to say
  
  I don't want your apology
  I don't need your sympathy
  All I want from you is
  Just a minute of your time
  
  May I please remind you it was you who said
  I was too reserved
  Right from the start
  And now you slam that door on me
  When I was just about to come right in
  And open up my heart
  
  Do you know the feeling
  I know the feeling well
  When the best you give is not enough
  To not let good times get rough
  To not let it all start again
  
  I could have stood the pain
  The tears and the blame
  I could have stood those eyes fixed upon me
  But what I just can't accept
  Is the simple fact
  You just quietly went out of here
