Too many times,
|
I've sat across a table
|
Lending a sympathetic ear
|
Knowing exactly what I'll hear
|
Concealing my impatience
|
With a friend who falls apart
|
Who's let some guy walk off with her heart
|
He's gone, she can't forget, it's nothing new
|
Depending upon your point of view
|
|
So many times,
|
Women have a weakness
|
For building their lives around a man
|
Something I never understand
|
But you and I were different
|
We were free to come and go
|
Until you left for good, how could I know?
|
The tears, the wasted time, the longing for you
|
Something I thought I'd never do
|
|
My days are filled with the worst cliches
|
I watch the phone and dare it not to ring
|
Imagining your call and what I'd say
|
Eating alone is worse than anything
|
Except...are those footsteps in the hall?
|
|
The friends I see
|
Tell me time is healing
|
Everyone tries to be so kind
|
Kindness could make me lose my mind
|
I sit up late at night
|
And watch old movies on TV
|
Though I could never tell you what I see
|
Sometimes, sometimes, I cry the whole night through
|
Something, it's something
|
Something I thought I'd never do
|
