Your not pretty
and your face is not handsome
but I see something in you
that makes my eyes light up
and I feel like the sky
is bright with sunshine
when you're near
I miss you now
for all the wrong reasons
I miss the kisses you gave me
and the touch of your hand
but I can live without the harsh words you said
and how you made me feel less than important
So I think to myself
It's better this way
I'll stay away so that my heart will cool
give me a week, or a month, or a quarter
and maybe I can think of someone else
someone that'll love me in a way that's right
Right now it seems like I can't run away
I think of you all the time
In the morning I wake up and know
that today is another day I haven't spoke
or heard your sweet voice
you're silent and I am crazy in that din
This'll fade one day
I'll remember you as a friend that wasn't
and I'll know the path I took was right
but right now all I feel is that ache
I'm struck down into a coma
overwhelmed by the things I feel
I'm coming down from the high that's you
I see your picture and my chest pounds
I think of your lips and my heart clenches
I hear of your exploits and I feel faint
I can't run away from my thoughts
is there no way to escape you?
Let me live through another hour
each day I think of you less
because I know there'll be a day
that I'll wake up and you're not there
and you'll be gone from my head
and gone from my heart.
