To Tom Fletcher

Verse1

There for a second,

And then you were gone,
You said Shine A Light,
But you didn’t see me when I shone,

Verse 2
Maybe I was Too Close For Comfort,
But now I’ll never know,
You walk off into the sun,
While I’m waiting in the cold,

Chorus
Should I have shouted louder?
Should I have pushed through the crowds?
Then maybe things would be brighter,
All I know, is it was me you never found,

Verse 3
I thought you were looking for me,
You wrote it in a song,
But as I look at your face,
I realise I’m wrong,

Verse 4
The sound of silence is deafening,
In my heart, not out of mind,
A slightly deluded girl, I know,
But one I thought you’d find,

Chorus
Should I have shouted louder?
Should I have pushed through the crowds?
Then maybe things would be brighter,
All I know, is it was me you never found,

Middle 8
You taught me that I’m never alone,
That when I’m down and lost it’s you I phone,
“Just remember to smile, smile, smile”,
But now you’re gone and it’s you, I can’t find,

Adjusted Chorus
Next time I will shout louder,
I will push through the crowds,
Things will be brighter,
Next time around.
