For a little while
I got everything I ever wanted
I got my music and my fans
And was walking around in your pjs
I had the courage you’ve given
When I was trembling myself on stage
Your eyes were locking into mine
Like an isolated haven just you and me
But I couldn’t even look at you now
When you’re looking at me like we used to be
So I guess love songs are overrated
‘Cause they got me nowhere but lost again
How am I supposed to say I need you
How am I supposed to say I’ll leave with you tonight
How am I supposed to say ‘can you take my hand and tell me everything’s gonna be alright’
When you tell me to find someone else
Just a while later
We were drunk on that shabby black sofa
That’s when you brought up that cliché we-are-friends-right, I-care-about-you line
I could still feel your hair
Do you still scent my nicotine fragrance?
A golden retriever, but I’m the one on the leash
I used to think of learning all the chords
So I’d surprise you with my one-man guitar show
Singing your song in your room one day
But I never saw my pink toothbrush again
How am I supposed to say I need you
How am I supposed to say I’ll leave with you tonight
How am I supposed to say ‘can you take my hand and tell me everything’s gonna be alright’
When you tell me to find someone else
(Don’t tell me to find someone else)
When I really want to hear you say ‘I’ll take your hand and tell you everything’s gonna be alright’
But you tell me to find someone else
