sixteen months just wasn't long enough 
               
to change your mind
                                    
but I'm sure you knew that all along
                
I was much too young
                          
and you were much too far away to think
                                            
that I might think about you when you're gone

                                   
what did you wear how steep was your climb
                                     
what did you have in your pockets at the time
                                   
how long did it take how much did you care
                                              
what side of the street did they find you waiting there

sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
                                                
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
                                              
now and then I think about the way you might have been
                                            
but other times I'm just so angry I don't care

                              
what did you say and who did you tell
                 
what could I have done
                                  
that might have saved you from yourself
                                              
how did it feel and what went through your mind
                                               
what did they do with all the things you left behind
