I stayed in the same place you left me Close to the phone, just in case he dialed But, it seems I recall, that I went somewhere Yeah, I went crazy for a while I went out of my mind, so I wouldn't have to see The fool in the mirror, or face reality And I stared at his picture for so long I saw him smile I went crazy for a while I'm doin' time, here, inside a memory And I need him like a prisoner needs a file I'd like to tell you more, but I forgot the rest Oh, did I mention? I went crazy for a while I went out of my mind, so I wouldn't have to see The fool in the mirror, or face reality And I stared at his picture for so long I saw him smile I went crazy for a while I went crazy for a while
