Lyrics

Can you not see what you've done? You gave your heart away like that I didn't want to fall in love With anyone but you did I can still hear the song The melody behind the kiss you gave me You were wrong I was right so I walked away And left you there alone I got so tired of talking on the telephone How many times would we say the words "Goodbye"? I made mistakes And one was telling you that I'd be there when telling-time had come I should've said I didn't care Oh, the time I would have saved If I had been less willing to accomodate You'd been a little less likely to cry You go back to the high life And I'll go back to the low I should've known But now I know There'll be no word from you Describing how it felt to go through what I put you through It all makes perfect sense The way you cut the rope That kept you dangling from such pitiful amounts of hope I would have cut it too, yeah!
