the fling

I don't get why you still cross my mind When I pass your street I mean, after all, we both know that you never gave me anything Is your bed still the same Do you whisper my name into those chilly sheets Except I know, my dear, you've moved on from here To a happier city's streets And I'm so mad at myself for still missing you Barely remember your face or your name The boy I almost thought I knew I don't get why your ghost won't leave me alone He still haunts me in my dreams Yeah, he sits beside me and tells pretty lies Oh, he'll tell me anything He said he realized when he looked in my eyes That I was good enough to try for And I'll start to believe him and then he'll leave And I'll remember everything And I'm so angry for setting my eyes so low I can do better, I know, I know But it hurts that if that boy changes it won't be for me If he's finally good, if he acts like he should It's for a woman I could never be I bet she's pretty and perky and fun I bet she's easy and calls you her number one And it's so sad, singing of a boy I never had Who never was, who never will be The one you would have been if you had cared for me
