its been two whole years since you and i shared fears
two-thirty AM talking till sleep inside that diner
and now in your eyes i can't find you

sorry that i'm taken aback but how i am you never ask
and i don't need such sympathy but a care would be so nice to have
once in awhile you mean more to me than i could ever tell
so sorry that i'm taken aback but i just can't help it

small town we just ride
holding on to what we had inside
but now its never there so should i admit
do i believe i too am the culprit because in your eyes i can't find you

sorry that i'm taken aback but how i am you never ask
and i don't need such sympathy but a care would be so nice to have
once in awhile you mean more to me than i could ever tell
so sorry that i'm taken aback but i just can't help it

someday this will go away
and everything i am will just leave and fade
and i hope then you will understand
its not everything i am my dear only friend

so sorry that i'm taken aback but how i am you never ask
and i don't need such sympathy but a care would be so nice to have
once in awhile you mean more to me than i could ever tell
so sorry that i'm taken aback but i just can't help it
