I kept an open mind in the face of a closed book
I hoped that we might see eye to eye some day
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
So I am begging you to stay away
The day I found out that was it and you were leaving
I was scared I didn't feel a thing
Now even after years or months or days I can't believe that I could let you make me feel much of anything
I'll say what I needed to say
I know that you'll hear it this way
I couldn't do much right and so I gave up trying
I felt it was the only way
I had nothing left to lose or so I thought until I started to feel my life slip away
I'll say what I needed to say
I know that you'll hear it this way
I'll say what I needed to say
I know that you'll hear it this way
