just what were you expecting
what were you hoping for
only wish i could have given
oh given you a little more

first you learn to laugh it off
but that will only go so far
you'd always like to be someone else
but you're only who you are

only after the glow
only after the fade of her kiss
only after the heartache do you know
what you've missed

been there and tried with all my might
but i couldn't move the stone
words sound different in the night
over your telephone

i still see you in the streets
sometimes even our eyes meet
i hear your voice in this old house
i still hold you in my dreams
