my song for you

i think back

my mind drifts back on you

i have a smile and i have a tear in my eye

but mostly - oh

you know -

my heart falls to you on the less happy

lower-end side

i think back

my mind drifts back on you

i must have loved you

even on the back line

for why else would the thought of you haunt me

to such a wickedly sharp-edged degree

and it's slicing me up and it's spitting me out. i sing my song for you

i sing out loud for you

i sing my song for you

my only relief from you

i think back

my mind drifts back on you

i'm a helpless child still frozen in your light

i look away to protect myself

because i feel that you would burn me like the sun

i sing my song for you

you take the breathing. i sing out loud for you

and i am sinking. i sing my song for you

you leave me on the low. my only relief from you

you never should have happened

so goes my song for you

i think back. so goes my song for you

i think back

my mind drifts back on you

i dream the same dream of you like an automatic dial

and i cannot afford to spend this time on you

so i ask you to please leave my mind

because you never belonged in there

did you

i sing my song for you

you take the breathing from me

i sing out loud for you

and i am drifting slowly

i sing my song for you

you leave me on the low side

my only relief from you

so goes my song for you

that you never should have happened

no

you never should've happened

so goes my song for you

you never should have happened

and i sing out loud for you
