Don't know what I did To make you feel that way I can't always say Just what I want to say I'm out of place again, You're on my case again Bringing up the past And sling it in my face again Put me in the frame, So even if I win I lose, Going down slow Ain't the only way to go, Listen to me honey, tell me something funny, Miss me when I'm gone You'll be the one to sing the blues, Seems to me the good times Ended way too soon Seems like faded echoes In an empty room, Strangers in the night, Strangers in the light, Seems like every word we say Just makes us scratch and bite, Thought we had the answers, we were sure couldn't lose, What you want from me, Is all the things that I can't be Listen to me baby, I'm beginning to go crazy Miss me when I'm gone You'll be the one to sing the blues, More I think about it, It's a goddamn shame, Opposites attract 'Till they become the same, Daggers in our eyes, Time to say goodbye, Time to stop pretending, Time to stop the endless lies I wish you luck, babe I hope you find a dream and it comes true What my eyes can't see Don't make no difference to me Listen to me faking, Even though my heart is breaking Miss you now you're gone Now I'm the one to sing the blues
