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
