I grab your hand you let go,
You shake your head and say 'no',
I feel my voice collapse with my hopes,
You turn your back and time slows oh,

You leave the bar,
I leave my drink and my coat where they are,
And follow you on to the street,
You turn around look at the ground,
And say 'don't follow when I leave',
Okay,

You said 'you love me' oh,
That I could trust you oh,
You'd never leave me oh,
After all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,
Strayed all my bounders oh,
But you don't need me oh,
Better off without me oh,

I chase the rain down the window,
You're all I see wherever I go,
You're all I see even with my eyes closed,

Hidden memories in magazines enclosed in photos at home,
You're in my sleep, in my day-dreams,
in a crowded street or on my own,
While I can't eat I bet you sleep with someone's heat against your bones,
But,

You said 'you love me' oh,
That I could trust you oh,
You'd never leave me oh,
After all we got through oh,
I took my chances oh,
Strayed all my bounders oh,
But you don't need me oh,
Better off without me oh,

I don't see you for some time,
Yet, every day you're still in my mind,
I'm moving forward no longer the tortured
by the person that you ar-r-r-re-e,
I met someone new, yes, they're not you, but I still wonder how you are,

I lie in bed and smile at my life,
Glad I saw sense in the bright lights,
It's dark outside, I go down stairs,
look at the door there's someone there,
I hear a knock and my heart drops, I'd recognize it anywhere,
I open the door, I see your face, there's a pause, and then you say
'Babe,

I said 'I loved you' oh,
That you could trust me oh,
I'd never leave you oh,
If things were ugly oh,
I took my chances oh,
I strayed all your bounders oh,
But I still need you oh,
I'm nothing without you oh,

You grab my hand I let go,oh
