lyrics

now it seems i can't keep my mind off you
my mind drifts back to better days we've been through
like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
the love i bitched about i finally found
but now it's gone and i take the blame
so there's nothing i can do but take the pain...why?
now i dwell on what you remind me of
a sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
as for me i am blind without a cause
and now i realized what i have lost
it was something real that i could've had
now i play the fool who's soul's gone bad...why?
tell me the words i might have said
it's pumping pressure deep inside my head
was it bad enough to be too late
just tell me the words i might have ate
the words i might have ate...
