You held me like a summer evening
A heavy weight that somehow seemed to comfort
You were all smiles and lies
Everything I'd ever wanted to hear you said
And I was so infatuated, so in love with you
It just slipped past me quietly
A tip-toeing little gremlin
Invading my perfect worldOn the lonely nights
I'd pretend not to care and not to know
About those true feelings you had
The ones that chilled like a winter morning
You didn't have anything to lose
And you had nothing in mind to gain
So I could only stand to the side
As you allowed yourself to ride a crazy roller coaster
Dipping in and out of love
The only constant was the gnawing in my heart
And the startling look in your eyes
If you ever asked me to come back
I'd have to laugh
But like the mosquito is drawn to the lights of its hell
I am drawn to you
And I hate to admit it,
But baby, I miss you more than anything
If we could only have one more chance
It might be better,
But I won't lie
I'm not going to change
Something says that you'll refuse to budge from your stance
I always liked that about you
Strong like the trees standing tall through the windstorm
That's what I've always needed
But the trees grow
And they change with the years
Maybe that's what we need to learn...
But no matter what,
I will always love you
