A melodic piano song about the unfortunate combination of infidelity and depression.

Welcome to the place where you used to see her
Try to see past barricades that you put there
Once when you looked at her face you had promised
Things that you could not repay
and she smiled
and she smiled then

Looking at the doorway where she would beckon
For your presence and your touch. Lying beside her
there you looked up at the sky and she whispered
things that would not be repaid
and you smiled
and you smiled then


Too much of her was not enough for your wandering arms
the days went by and you wanted more.
Too much of love couldn't satisfy your endless need
you whored your passion and trust away


Picturing how she looked that day that when she found you
lying in another's arms sharing a moment
there you looked into her face and you promised
apologies that would not soothe
you were pleading
you were pleading then

Remembering the other times and the others
and how she learned of them all, promises broken
made when you look at the sky
and you whispered
She once smiled
She once smiled then


Too much of her was not enough for your wandering arms
the days went by and you wanted more.
Too much of love couldn't satisfy your endless need
you whored your passion and trust away


She didn't have to go that far, there was no reason
but desperation took control and her world came
crashing down around her till then you found her
lying on the bathroom floor
it's all over
it's all over now
