| When I wrote you that letter, you’d already made up your mind
|
| All my words were written in vain
|
| And when I called you up that day
|
| I was only calling up to say hello
|
| But goodbye
|
| Was the word that you’d been thinking 'bout for days
|
| I didn’t know that you were going to leave me
|
| I wish I knew the way to make you come home
|
| What can I do if this is right for you
|
| I have not been perfect for you
|
| Although I think I was back at the start
|
| You have no more patience for me
|
| So now I guess we’ll both just drift apart
|
| All those times I wasn’t there
|
| The times you thought I didn’t care
|
| I hope you can believe I thought of you
|
| 'Cause you were everything I needed
|
| I’ve been selfish and so self-absorbed
|
| I thought that you’d be waiting when I reached the other side
|
| Last night I put my arms around another woman’s waist
|
| The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced
|
| And great love can bring greater pain
|
| I hope I fall in love again
|
| What can I do if this is right for you
|
| I have not been perfect for you
|
| I like to think I was back at the start
|
| You have no more patience for me
|
| So now I guess we’ll both just drift apart
|
| I want the best for you and now I realize that it isn’t me
|
| I haven’t been the man you need, I wish I’d been able to be
|
| I’m sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
|
| And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired
|
| I have not been perfect for you
|
| I wish we could go back and just restart
|
| But you have no more patience for me
|
| So now I guess we’ll both just drift apart
|
| Drift apart |
