"Our Song" Our love is not what it appears Why does love always end in tears? There was a time when time stood still But now I know it never will Two weeks the sun would always shine Two weeks in April ‘99 I wasn’t wrong, you were to blame I was the moth, you were the flame The radio would play our song You never tried to sing along What more was I supposed to do? I changed my toothpaste just for you Was fourteen days all you could spare? When half the time you were not there A pessimist, I feared the worst I knew the bubble had to burst Your cigarettes are in my tray That’s where they are, that’s where they’ll stay I see your face in every crowd You make me follow you around You go to lunch with Mr. Tan Walk to the deli hand in hand Sit in the park and laugh and touch He thinks you love him very much He doesn’t know, he’s so naïve The lies you speak, he still believes You once said looks don’t mean a thing Then how could this be happening? Your lights are off, is that a sign? You lock the doors and close the blinds I phone your house, get the machine How could a soul mate be so mean? You waste your time avoiding me You’ll have to change your strategy Your friends are always on your side Acting as lookouts when you hide Don’t hate me for me for my jealous mind I’m what girls want, so sweet and kind You know I’m shy and sensitive Some people take, some people give I am that guy, I’m Mr. Nice Who never makes a mistake twice I wasn’t wrong, you were to blame I was the moth, you were the flame I gave you love, I gave you stuff My best just wasn’t good enough You’ll see my face in every cloud You’ll hear my voice in every sound Forgive me for what I may do Forgive the sin of loving you
