    Lyrics
    Now it seems I can't keep my mind of you
    My brain 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 reazlied what I have lost

    It was something real that I could have had
    Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
    Why?

    Tell me the words I might have said
    That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
    Was it bad enough to be too late?
    Just tell me the words I might have ate.
