Why Couldn't I
Read
The Handwriting On The Wall

I had
everything this world had to offer
Until my selfishness caused us to
part
Why couldn't I read the handwriting on the wall
Trying to tell me I
was breaking your heart.
My future once looking
bright is now dark
Because without you tomorrow has no meaning
Why
couldn't I read the handwriting on the wall
Instead of about myself always
pipe dreaming.
I didn't realize what I had
until you left me
Why couldn't I read the handwriting on the wall
Telling
me living my life without your love
Would be absent of love and no happiness
at all.
Why couldn't I read the
handwriting on the wall?
