You went up the stairs I swear it isn’t fair
This burning in my brain is just too much to bear
Now I’m feeling dead
That simply won’t end all this aching in my head now
I can’t stop wondering to myself
Why you stay with him and why not someone else
I can’t see what it is you see
What you really need is someone like me

One more night, gonna try to get it right
One more night, can’t function on my own
One more time, want to make it work this time
Once denied cuz you took it away
And you left me all alone

I try to compare, you know you wouldn’t dare
The lights on in your window and I wish I was there
But I’m here living lies
You’d see the difference if you looked in my eyes now
I can’t quite seem to concentrate
Is there still a chance or is it much too late
I’m blind to everything that’s real
But you’d see it too if you knew how I feel
