By the river, we once sat abreast

Singing along to our favorite songs

I now sit alone with an empty chest

Amidst a hundred billabongs

My heart now pumping out tears

My eyes now crying out blood

You stole my heart, my dear

And left it drowning in the mud

Now craving your love once more

I'm seated at the river bank once again

Reminiscing about the vows you swore

When we promised to marry in the rain

Holding a mirror and in need of relief

I look to find the beauty you once praised

In wrinkles like a tree's torn-off leaf

If only your departure had been delayed

Then I wouldn't be consorting with such grief

Letting you go was the worst mistake ever made
