I know she is your lover
And I couldn’t have wished for any other
To take my place
But I hate her face
When I see her with you
And I know I have no right to
Expect fidelity
From a man in my history
And I’m sure she’s lovely and floats your boat
And I’ve flicked through stories that you both quote
In your dalliance on the screen
The difference between me and her and the dream
Is that she was with you down the mall
And it’s been fifteen years since I could say I was as well
Or at least by the school
You know the one where we broke the rule
That drove you wild
I think I knew you when I was a child
Coz I can sense your spirit near
Whenever you’re not here
And I used to have these visions
Of scooby strings and everything 
And we’re all tied up in knots
But there’s something that you forgot
About me
When I set you free
Coz I could not be your ball and chain
I could never mask sunshine with rain
And I know it’s deep and profound
But I didn’t miss the sound
That echoed between us
And think how it could’ve been us
If only I had buried the hatchet
That asked you to match it
Flame and fire 
With air that could take me higher
Than any string
On a mannequin 
Could do
Do you ever imagine me with you? 
When she says your name
Does it sound the same
As it does when I do
Is it petty of me to ask you
To compare
And your stare
Still echoes a refrain
One moment and I am there again
As you throw me against the wall
In your mind so I play hard ball
And look away
What is it that I didn’t say
That means so much now
Now that you won’t allow
Me to bridge the gap
And it was like a slap
When you answered the phone
With a voice like a dial tone
That contained no speech
Did you think I was weak
Enough to break
And say it’s all for your sake
It ain’t my style
But I haven’t seen you in a while
And I wonder
Does your thunder
Still ache hearts
Or have you taken them all apart?
