I’ve taken a break from being myself..
I’ve looked around and kicked the words around in my mind
I’ve dreamed the long dreams, that take up half the day
I’ve looked at you, and have had nothing new to say.

I’ve wondered what I could do if I was someone else
I wished I was like you, and stay strong while my heart melts
I dreamed we were still together, facing the stormy weather
But then I woke up with some lush named heather..
I’ve sang your songs in bars far and wide
And when I wake up in the morning, I still feel empty inside.
I’ve called out your names in my slumber
And I cant being myself to just dial your fucking number.

My friends all tell me, you’ve worth getting over
But I get reminded, when I smell summer clover
I wished things didn’t have to be so damn tough
But I guess that’s what happens when you find a diamond in the rough.

You polish it up and then it’s sold to a higher bidder
And she knows better, no point in trying to kid her.
