Lyrics
SINGING TO MYSELF
I tried to find the warmth in your eyes
But all that I could find was green
I thought I was your one and only
But I see that I am only one of two
But you?re not on my mind at all
I try to be so polite on the phone
You always ask me how I am
I am fine, how are you?
I bought a roll of duct tape for my broken heart
But you?re not on my mind at all
How could you stop loving me so suddenly?
Did I make the mistake of being myself?
Time and time again it comes down to the same damn thing
And in the end I?ll be no wiser
I know that there are others to be had
But every face is pale next to yours
You may never hear this song
But that?s okay, I don?t mind singing to myself
Cause you?re not on my mind at all
How could you stop loving me so suddenly?
Did I make the mistake of being myself?
Time and time again it comes down to the same damn thing
And in the end I?ll be no wiser
So this is it, this is the final verse
But I have so much more to say
La dee dah dee dah
Please excuse me, but there?s something in my eye
I?d better say goodbye
Please come back
