See the guy in the corner
|
The one who's drinking another glass
|
There's a look in his eye
|
That I've seen so many times in the past
|
I've seen it in the mirror
|
And I've seen it in my friends
|
When we realize we've lost ourselves
|
And we try to make amends
|
He'll drink another two or three
|
And the room will start to spin
|
Then he'll try to let the feelings show
|
But he'll find he can't give in
|
|
You remember what your brother said
|
Remember what your brother said
|
"I'll tell the whole class if I see you"
|
You remember what your mother said
|
Remember what your mother said
|
"Never be a man if you do"
|
|
See the guy in the corner
|
Putting out another cigarette
|
Maybe someone is dying
|
From something that they can't cure yet
|
Maybe a lover is cheating
|
Maybe a lover just left
|
But something's gone, maybe forever
|
And it's something that he can't forget
|
|
You remember what your brother said
|
