One

Life's been harder since Mexico City

Last night you turned away with lips held tight

Didn't rise up on tip-toes to kiss me

Or whisper in my ear a gentle good night

Six short months, but it felt like much longer

Since you held my hand between both of yours

Six months more, and I'm not sure we'll make it

'Cause every night I'm sleepin' near to the door

And I an old man and you a young lady

Face each other one midsummer's night

You in your youth bear it quite gracefully

I in my old age, I run from your sight

For I having suffered in silence these long years

I've grown old long before my own time

And I search for comfort and sure things to lean on

And I curse what I once called sublime

But you are the only one I have ever loved

You are the only one I have ever loved

But I'll stay

Say I'm happy

And I'll try

To pretend

And I'll lie

To myself

But I know

We were never friends

And I'll laugh

Say I'm happy

And I'll try

To pretend

And we'll lie

To each other

But we know

We won't ever be friends

Never!

Cause sometimes the hardest part is knowin'

I thought I

I loved you

What did I know

Cause now I

I'm thinkin'

Just didn't wanna be alone

And now I

I'm thinkin'

We won't ever be friends

And now I

I'm lookin'

For some way to make this end
