Story Behind The Song
Received a phone call from the girl I was dating at the time that she had wound up in a ditch somewhere. Her phone died and I went out looking for her, but never could find her and didn't talk to her again for close to 24 hours. When I got back to my apartment, I broke down crying on the floor, thinking she had died. This song poured out of me during that time on the floor.

Lyrics
You left without a word
Haven't got tired hearing you on repeat
Every time I call with no answer
It holds back the tears, just for a moment
Been out here trying to find you for too long
Life's too short, one day here, ten years gone
It's all the same though since the day that you left
Just wish I would have told you that I loved you
One last time
Funny how perfection can fall apart
The titanic was said to be indestructible
But with just the right force, it sank
Now my heart too is lost in the depths of the ocean
Been out here trying to find you for too long
Life's too short, one day here, ten years gone
It's all the same though since the day that you left
Just wish I would have told you that I loved you
One last time
Been wishing I had said some things different
Didn't know those words to you would be my last
Now I'm kneeling here with a rose in my hand
At the sight where they said you breathed your last
Was out there looking for you for too long
Life's too short, one day here, ten years gone
It's all the same though since the day that you died
Just wish I would've told you that I loved you
One last time, one last time
