VERSE
Now it seems I can't keep my mind of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
The love I witched about I finally found
But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me... I am blind without a cause
And now I reazlied what I have lost
It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why
Tell me the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late
Just tell me the words I might have ate
But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why
