The deal with this is that you've never been mine
And even if I could turn back the hands of time
It wouldn't change a thing because nothing has been
And there's not a God damned part of your soul I've seen

I lie quietly alone in my bed at night
Trying to figure out how the hell to end this fight
But try hard as I might I can never see
A way for me without you to simply be

You are always there deep down in my blood
My feelings for you are drowning me like a flood
You're sort of always there and you sort of always listen
But when I turn back I only see your eyes glisten

I don't know if you saw me or heard a word I said
But tell me: do you really want to spend every single night alone in your bed?
Not letting anyone in and never anything out
Tell me: how do you not just blow up and scream and shout?

I may adore you more than life in itself
But sometimes I think that you simply need some help
Someone to open you up to a new conception
Or something to make you lose your inner protection

Do you really not want to let anyone in?
Or do you just consider loving yourself a sin?
Don't you know what's real life all about?
Maybe you don't see the things you just can't do without

Don't you know that it's really just about togetherness?
Just tell me: have you never heard of love and happiness?
There is a way other that to merely just exist
Tell me: don't you even feel it when you get really pissed?

It's like you never think about it when you are all alone
You probably don't even talk about it with your friends on the phone
I try to understand you but it's not like I always can
It sometimes seems to me that your heart comes with a ban

Is there a way that I can unlock your heart?
Is there anything I can do on my side and part?
Sometimes I think there's no way to live through this strain
But there are times when I don't even feel the pain

Why don't you ever consider the girls you meet?
Do you honestly think they'll someday be right there at your feet?
You probably don't but then I can't figure you at all
Most guys your age live like they're having a ball

You tell me: when did you have your last real kiss?
Or is it the one in your life that you truly miss?
I know there aren't many things that you've done
But tell me: why don't you think that I might just be
the one?

Is it me: am I doing something wrong?
Or maybe your mind is just not too strong
Which one of these it is I may not ever know
Later maybe I will-when you finally see me go
Do you really like to see me cry?
Just tell me: why did you have to say goodbye?
