I drank all the liquor
What a sad sad night
Coming to the party?
Well I think I just might
Peek in and see what’s happening
In the social scene tonight
Don’t pay attention to me
Never admit I was right
What went wrong?
Can you sing the song?
We tried to get along.
But the difference was just too strong.
Call my friends and
Talk till I’m dead and
Eat till I’m bloated and
Bury my head in the sand
Call me on the telephone
To see what’s going on
I am all alone
Talk to me until the dawn
What went wrong?
Can you sing the song?
We tried to get along.
But the difference was just too strong.
I can see you
Inside the eye in my mind
I can breathe you
My place in your life I resign
I can’t make you
Happy I’ve already tried
This is my cue
To pretend that I’ve already died
What went wrong?
Can you sing the song?
We tried to get along.
But the difference was just too strong.
Break the pattern
Beat to a different drum
See what matters
Wonder what you have become
Eat your words and
Eat your heart out, I’m alive
Sometimes our friends
Give us the will to survive
What went wrong?
Can you sing the song?
We tried to get along.
But the difference was just too strong.
What went wrong?
Can you sing the song?
We tried to get along.
But now I am where I belong
Now I am where I belong
You’ll never admit you were wrong
Now I get on with my life
Involve someone else in your strife
Just pretend, and make believe
That I was the one who deceived
You’ll never be enough
Play like you’re so tough
How can you live alone
In the house that we called a home
I know you’ll just pretend
That you are your only true friend
I can’t call you
You really weren’t ever there
I can’t tell you
How much I truly care
Only you can
Watch your life pass you by
Tell why you can
Laugh while I stand here and cry
Didn’t I matter
In your obnoxious screenplay
My thoughts scatter
Standing while you run away
Tried to tell you
Only time will heal our pain
Bruised, black and blue
I’ve changed but you’ve stayed the same
I must go on
Living my life for today
Now that you’re gone
My life has become a cliché
I only wanted
To love and be loved in return
I am haunted
What a difficult lesson to learn
Never did I realize
I could be someone without you
I idealized
Words that would never come true
Now I’m living
Even though I’m by myself
No more forgiving
Deal with it all by yourself
Talk to me, tell me
How your life is now so grand
I see through you
It didn’t work out as you planned
Life has dealt you
A hand that you didn’t plan
I can see that you
Have become a different man
Now it’s too late
To show me how you feel
There’s too much hate
And no room for an appeal
So take these words and
Think of a love you once knew
Next time be sure that
Your intentions are totally true
I will go on
Living my life for today
I will be strong
