She said she could never wanna be with me
And I know she meant it very very seriously
But I just can't get her off my mind

And I know I should just forget about her and
Go find somebody that I understand
But being with her just feels so right
And she was there when I was broken
And she was there when I was right
She don't miss me, but I'm still hoping
She wants to see me tomorrow night

I call her on the phone
'I wrote you another song
I hope you like it but
I know it won't make sense to you'

I know that I'm long gone
From your life but I want
To see you one last time,
Just to recall when you were mine

So forgive me, if you don't wanna be with me
It's a mystery, how you exist so wonderfully
I get tongue-tied, just thinking of you

But I know, I should just be leaving you alone
I'm a sad sight, just waiting for the phone
But I don't know what else to do

And you were there when I was broken
And you helped me see the light
But I left my love unspoken
And that's why

I'm calling you on the phone
I wrote you another song
I hope you like it but
I know it won't make sense to you

I know that I'm long gone
From your life but I want
To see you one last time
Just to recall when you were mine

I know that I'm long gone
From your life but I want




To see you one last time
Just to recall when you were mine

But I left my love unspoken
However, I regret not having expressed my love for her
