can you not see what you've done?   you gave your heart away like that   i didn't want to fall in love with anyone   but you did   i can still hear the song   the melody behind the kiss you gave me   you were wrong   i was right, so i walked away   and left you there, alone   i got so tired of talking on the telephone   how many times would i hear the words "good-bye"      i made mistakes and one was telling you   that i'd be there when telling time had come   i should've said i didn't care   oh, the time i would have saved   if i had been less willing to accomodate   you'd have been a little less likely to cry      you go back to the high life   and i'll go back to the low   i should have known   but now i know   there'll be no words from you   describing how it felt to go through what i put you through   it all makes perfect sense   the way you cut the rope   that kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope   i would've cut it too
