You, You

This isn't about him, Stubie

How much I gotta say to get through?

I had a man die in my arms

A guy I know die in my arms

And all I could think of was you

How happy I was that it wasn't you

You, who I tried to forget

Who I wanted to hate

Why were you still there in my mind?

Some kid I met so many months ago

Your face, the jokes you made, stupid things

I tried to shut them out

I cursed your name

But still in my heart was you

It must mean that somehow I'm tied to you

Why? 'Cause it doesn't make sense

And I don't understand, but

That day I felt this feeling

An ache so strong I just knew

My heart had been lost to you

Maybe it's the moon or the waves, or the stars

Or maybe I'm drunk and I'm scared

But that night on the train

I fucked up, I fucked up

I know you don't get two chances

But somehow I did this time

This time, can I?

Promise you'll stay, promise you'll try

Tonight there's no war

Just the sky, and the waves

And you, you
