"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
