I first saw you standing in a group
One evening when my troupe was done performing
Something 'bout you took my breath away
And on that day I knew that you were for me
But you weren't for me, were you
I took it wrong, I wrote a song
And then another and another and another
But it's just as well, Heaven or hell, it doesn't matter
What we could have been together
So neither of us knew the ins and outs
The next two weeks my life was all about you
And then one night you had me on the line
You told me you just didn't have time for me
No time for me, did you
I took it wrong, I wrote a song
And then another and another and another
But it's just as well, Heaven or hell, it doesn't matter
What we could have been together
It might have been shock or fear
Or the many years of missteps and pain
I was humbled again by the stillness
That should have been war
So my affection lives another day
But oddly babe, it's more like you're my sister
Our history has warped my tender brain
But I'll never complain because I'm better
You made me better, didn't you
I took it wrong, I wrote a song
And then another and another and another
But it's just as well, Heaven or hell, it doesn't matter
What we could have been together
I took it wrong, I wrote a song
And then another and another and another
But it's just as well, Heaven or hell, it doesn't matter
What we could have been together
So there it is
So there it is
So there it is
So there it is
