(party blues)

I didn't know that she was leaving

nor was I told that she had gone

that my not knowing of her going

meant I was now the only one

she had left me alone not knowing

I was not the wanted one

so they watched as she was leaving

then they knew that she had gone

she was leaving in the knowing

that they watched in her going

as they knew she wasn't staying

I was left the only one.
