When I was alone I never believed in things like this And when I thought I did It never compared to how this is You could say I lost my cynical side Tied a knot and then declined Every thought I ever had Trying to talk myself out of you You were always standing right there in front of me But in my defense you were standing hesitantly We were striving silently, separately And I thought you'd never know how much it meant to me I thought I'd just have to leave this town Lying to myself saying I don't need you anyhow Thought you were some sore of long shot Or just a sore spot But how i was wrong And I see you now And I feel you now And I finally understand how you were screaming out For it all along Oh how I was wrong Oh how I was wrong You were always standing right there in front of me But in my defense you were standing hesitantly We were striving silently, separately And I thought you'd never know how much it meant to me
