So I hid my love away Like mail that arrives in far flung lands

No return address....Neither lost not found

I felt more love for you than was ever shown

And you held on with hope, waiting,

Only one day to let go.

As you walked away I waited for you to look back

Then I worried that I'd blown my only chance.

You moved along to that bleach blonde girl

Simple, not so complicated love you showed the world

Dusting off the book you gave me I watched you through the smoke

And I suppose for a moment I was happy for you both.

I wasted years searching for things I'll never find

While you were standing there before me

How could I be so blind?

It was always you....It was you there in my heart

Now I'll be the lonely candleabra that gets blown out after dark.

Oh I really fucked up this time!

Sometimes things meant for you, they do pass you by

And you have a love with her, that could have been with me

While I wake up alone in the night from a dreadful dream

Crying, thinking, wondering.....

"Who's going to love me now?"
