Brown Sugar

I still have your flower on my bookshelf Reminds me of a time when I knew I wasn't myself I was someone else Standing out in the cold on the pavement I tried to put on a smile while I thought of what your words meant I wish I could pretend It was only a part of me Still it's over and now I see I could never be your friend till I decide to start again And I'm leaving you now I'm running fast but I'm running out Of words to say while I think about Your arms 'round my head But I forgot just what you said Now I just want to be home again And I can't be alone since I've met you While I'm driving you home I think everything that I do Pulls me farther from you Now I'm sitting alone in the front seat Staring out at the night and the lights up on the same street But they look different to me It was only a matter of time I figured out you were never mine Still I know this will never end till I decide to start again And I'm leaving you now I'm running fast but I'm running out Of words to say while I think about Your arms 'round my head But I forgot just what you said Now I just want to be home again I'm on my own I should've known You couldn't stay We waited too long to be here anyway Now it's time to say goodbye Tell me I'm right Tell me I'm wrong I couldn't care I waited too long Now I know I'm alright And it's time to say goodnight
