lyrics

I heard you crying last night
But there's nothing I can do
Your memories of your love life
Have left you scarred and bruised
The screaming gets louder
From that place inside your head
So your drown it out with pillows
But it never works
So you decide to try the pills instead

I had a preschool crush from the moment that I met you
The next couple days I just couldn't forget you
Acting like a little girl
Little boy you stole my world
And ran just like the champ you know you are

But then you threw it in my face
The thoughts I had I can't erase
Twisted tumbled cracked and burned
Like a ship that's overturned
But then you threw it in my face
The thoughts I had I can't erase
Twisted tumbled cracked and burned
Like a ship that's overturned

So am I used?
My heart abused?
Or am I yours behind closed doors?
Don't let her know that you were with me.
Don't tell me she's your destiny

I heard you crying last night
But there's nothing I can do
Your memories of your love life
Have left you scarred and bruised
The screaming gets louder
From that place inside your head
So your drown it out with pillows
But it never works
So you decide to try the pills instead

So am I used?
My heart abused?
Or am I yours behind closed doors?
Don't let her know that you were with me.
Don't tell me she's your destiny

I have to wonder if I'm wrong to wish you're better all along
The stress of life we can't reverse
It's like our secret private curse
I have to wonder if I'm wrong to wish you're mine all along
Too look at you with hopeful eyes
This is my stone's throw goodbye
