Lyrics

Now it seems I can't keep
My mind off of you
My brain drifts back to better days
We've been through			(Verse 1)
Like sitting on the blacktop
Of the school grounds
The love I bitched about
I finally found

But now it's gone
And I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do		(Chorus 1)
But take the pain
Why?

Now I dwell on what
You remind me of
A sweet young girl
Who sacrificed her love			(Verse 2)
As for me
I am blind without a cause
And now I realize
What I have lost

It was something real
That I could have had
Now I play the fool			(Chorus 2)
Whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?

Tell me now
The words I might have said
It's pumping pressure
Deep inside my head			(Bridge)
To be too late
Just tell me
The words I might have ate

(Chorus 1)
