They told me to write a song
But I can't think of what to say
So I remembered all the bad times in my life
And they came with a picture of you
You broke a promise that you made
And said goodby to your loving world
A simple reason why would have sufficed
But it probably would have been some poor excuse
And now I breathe before I say
You are gone, and I'm okay
You gave me love; you gave me hope (Yeah, yeah)
But then you took it all away (Yeah, yeah)
Not even thoughts; not even memories (Yeah, yeah)
Can rebuild this damaged heart of mine (Yeah, yeah)
They told me to write a song
I'm starting to know what to say
A little girl has driven me crazy
Threw me into a windowless room
And now I speak before I think
I'll say the things that I couldn't before
You gave me love; you gave me hope (Yeah, yeah)
But then you took it all away (Yeah, yeah)
Not even thoughts; not even memories (Yeah, yeah)
Can rebuild this damaged heart of mine (Yeah, yeah)
And now I breathe before I say
You are gone, and I'm okay
You gave me love; you gave me hope (Yeah, yeah)
But then you took it all away (Yeah, yeah)
Not even thoughts; not even memories (Yeah, yeah)
Can rebuild this damaged heart of mine (Yeah, yeah)
They told me to write a song
Never would have if it wasn't for you
So here it is, it's at the end
I said what I needed to say
