You should have heard me sobbing   As I drove home that night   Got into bed and stayed there   For days I just laid there   Having been permanently changed   But we won't get into that now   Let's take it from the start   You should have seen me smiling   Like the world was mine   She used to call me baby   Softly, sometimes   But if I dwell on those days too long   I feel like my life is over   And that's no good   So let's move on      To the part where I begin to sense   Her distance   I panic and hold on tighter   But that makes it worse   How am I supposed to take it   When she said:      "This is something I'm going through,   It's got nothing to do with you"      I had a special evening all planned out   Desperately determined to reignite   Some spark between us   She had to feel something for me   A love as strong as ours   Doesn't just go away   You can't just turn it off   Unless she was lying all those times   But I don't think so   I really don't think so   The way she used to look at me   Made me a thousand feet high   The meaning of the word cool   Not the same geek   Who fumbled through his words that night   The ugliest night      I said some pretty awkward things   I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me   I should have seen it was hopeless and left it alone   But I had to go on embarrassing myself      "I miss what we had I need you so badly,   I miss what we had I need you so badly"      I must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know   That's why I don't blame her for what she said   But listen to me rambling   We don't know each other that well   But you're so easy to talk to   I feel like I can tell you almost anything   I hope I haven't put you off   I have a tendency to do that   Why don't I just be quiet?
