lyrics

I never felt so alone as I
Did on Mission Street, when I
Saw you walk by
Tryin’ to be all discreet
You knew I was there, yeah I
Saw you hesitate
You paused in the walk way
I noticed you
Slow your gait.

Why did I leave
The most exciting thing I knew
Why did I swallow you down
If the pieces were still whole
Why did it take me three tries
To break my heart.
I guess before I glue myself together
I’ll have to fall apart

I was almost past the tempest on that
Friday night but on Saturday
The rain came back again
When I said “One More Time”
I was holding fast to that
Last piece of you
but surrendered it that moment you smiled
we blew kisses as I, As I drove away
and I can’t remember why

Why did I leave
The most exciting thing I knew
Why did I swallow you down
If the pieces were still whole
Why did it take me three tries
To break my heart.
I guess before I glue myself together
I’ll have to fall apart

I’ve never been more behind you
As when you were watching me leave
Sometimes you can tell an act of love
By how much it makes you bleed.
Babe I just want for you to be happy
But that’s not gonna happen with me
No that’s not gonna happen with me

Why did I leave
The most exciting thing I knew
Why did I swallow you down
If the pieces were still whole
Why did it take me three tries
To break my heart.
I guess before I glue myself together
I’ll have to fall apart

I guess before I glue myself together
I’ll have to fall apart
