you're gone too soon
so I'll guess
what makes you want to run away from all this'
now I hate to say that I was wrong, but I did
is it too late to clue me in'

remembering the words you meant to say
you and me were born on separate days
and I don't know why you take the time
to stay so long, then you blow by

diggin' ditches all night long
doesn't get it
piling bricks to prove I'm strong
gotta quit it
and it looks to me like I will never meet your demands
by surrendering again

you promised every thing you took away
remembering the words you said to me
you and me were born on separate days
and I don't know why you take the time
to stay so long, then you blow by

you left a bill of goods I have to pay
i'd rather die alone than live this way
you and me were born on separate days
and I don't know why you take the time
to stay so long, then you blow by
