I think about the ones that got away   This lonely feeling might be here to stay   I stay up late and wait for her call   But my hope is beginning to fall   She thinks she's special, she thinks she's cool   She makes me feel like I'm a tool   Always playing silly games with my head   Get me thinking I'd be better off dead      Chorus:   They say someday THINGS WILL WORK OUT   But not till I discover what this GAME'S ABOUT   They say someday THINGS WILL BE FINE   And so goes this PATHETIC STORY OF MINE      I see you over there talking to him   I try to cover up my sorrow with a grin   I just wish we could give this a chance   But she won't even give me a glance   Am I ugly, is there something on my face?   Why am I leaving this room in discrace?   I should be out with friends all night long   Instead I'm sitting here writing this song      Chorus      How long do I have to be alone   My confidence is sinking like a stone   A sorry reflection staring back at me   At least my dog can keep me company   Girls say they like nice guys   But it's just another torturous lie   It's like a big joke that I just don't get   A punch-line that I haven't realized yet      Chorus
