coming back again let me see
things in a new light. these
words may seem a bit harsh (and has a “sour grape”
feel), but they’re all true (literally. esp. last phrase!?!). i can see that you’re no
longer who i’m looking for, the person i’m longing to
see. maybe you haven’t
been that person from the very start. it may have always been just something
in my head…
so i mean it when i said i want
us just to be good friends, and i won’t want it any other
way. just because i can’t
run away from the fact that we’ve known each other so well
and, in some way, still do.
and you shouldn’t deny that either. why on earth will you wanna do
that anyway?
like i said, lost something,
but gained back what i’ve been missing all these days. as joyce said, “good deal”.

i've driven round in circles for three
hours
it was bound to happen that i'd end up at yours
i temporarily forgot there's better days to come
i thought that i would give it just one more chance
cos' i want, tonight, what i've been waiting for
but i found, tonight, what i'd been warned about
you think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
all energy no meaning, with a lot of words
so paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down
and i've seen, tonight, what i'd been warned about
i'm gonna leave, tonight, before i change my mind
so see you when your 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
you think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today i wouldn't have picked you
out
i wouldn't have picked you out
i wouldn't have picked you out
now i've seen, tonight, how i could have waste my time
and i'll be on my way, and i won't be back
cos i've seen, tonight, what i've been warned about
you’re just a boy, not a man, and i'm not coming back
