I thought we were much closer

I thought I saw it in her eyes

The way we touched each other

The words she said to me I never realized

All the moments gone right by

And all the time spent by my side

The memories that passed us by

Just what did it all mean?

I was someone there to laugh with

I was someone there to hold

But given time, I know I could be substituted cold

She said that I was foolish

That our love would never die

But I could see how this would be a memory

Just passin' time

Mm-mm

She said that there's no other

That I can be the only one

But I could see another

This love can never be, I can see it in her eyes

All the moments gone right by

And all the time spent by my side

The memories that passed us by

Just what did it all mean?

I was someone there to laugh with

I was someone there to hold

But given time, I know I could be substituted cold

She said that I was foolish

That our love would never die

But I could see how this would be a memory

Just passin' time

I should've never tried to make this more than it could be

But now (But now) I left you standing there (I left you standing there)

To make it go away (To make it go away) and close my eyes (And close my eyes)

To make it go away and close my eyes

She said that I was foolish

That our love would never die

But I could see how this would be a memory

Just passin' time
