[Verse]
We carved our names in the old oak tree
Said forever like fools do
Carefree
Now the bark’s still there but you’re not
Not here
[Prechorus]
The wind still whispers
It knows your name
But it don’t answer when I do the same
[Chorus]
How could she leave
How could she go
No word
No wave
No echo to show
The best years
They were ours
Weren’t they
How could she leave
Not even a goodbye to say
[Verse 2]
We danced to the sound of a broken tape
Sang off-key
No escape
No escape
The static’s all that’s left
Just gray
[Prechorus]
I reach for shadows
They slip my hand
Did she forget what we had planned
[Chorus]
How could she leave
How could she go
No word
No wave
No echo to show
The best years
They were ours
Weren’t they
How could she leave
Not even a goodbye to say
