It's amazing how my heart can still ache It's strange to still be able to feel this kind of pain Ah, life is just full of surprises, odds and ends Expect the unexpected... I heard about your life, from the lips of a stranger But, it doesn't matter from where the information came What matters is that I know...I know And to tell you the truth, I wish that I didn't This is one thing that I could have done without knowing Still, just as I can't undo what's been done I cannot unlearn what I've learned No matter how much I may want to... It's really such a surprise to me, though it shouldn't be I know you, like I know myself But I just never thought that you-- No strike that...I never allowed myself to think such things I hoped, I dared to hope Yet, the hope was in vain And the action was a day late, a dollar short And a thousand other misbegotten things... So, things stand as they are, as they have been Still and unmoving Just as mysterious and aloof as you are I may know more, but I understand even less I have answers, and yet I have none And so I have to hear about your life from strangers Which I think is what hurts me the most... |
