Let me write my name on your wall/ don't look so happy when you see me fall/ I'll come running from down the hall/ I'll answer the phone when you give me a call

I'm still smiling despite the way it's gone/ I've been here so long/ just singing my songs/ Feeling sorry about what I've become/ you know I can't help all the things that have already been done

They say I shouldn't see you anymore/ that you'd tie me up and that you'd do me wrong/ so if those knots ever become undone/ I can say that I knew all along

So don't be in a hurry to get back to the way we was/ you might get there just to find out I'm not there at all/ ain't it kinda funny how we can't help fall in love/ turn our backs on eachother, and do eachother wrong

If you look for me and I'm not there/ I'll be tangled up in her hair/ she can kill me with her stare/ she makes me feel like I just don't care

I hope it will be sunny when we see the dawn/ we'll try to find all the things that we thought were lost/ and if your story's pages have been burned/ we'll try to forget all the things that we thought were learned

but I'm still smiling despite the way it's gone/ I've been here so long/ just singing my songs/ Feeling sorry about what I've become/ you know I can't help all the things that have already been done

So don't be surprised when you find I've gone
