My favorite part of me’s moved on I thought we’d have more days in the sun One year here, the next day gone I thought we’d have more days in the sun So let me try again, try to win your heart I didn’t know that I’d lost it, it’s my favorite work of art Let me hold your hand, this place that I’ve called home Where can I rest now? Return to the unknown My favorite part of me’s moved on Now I can’t sleep and I can’t run I’ve no demons left I can confront So I lie in bed just feeling numb All the plans I’d made have come undone Where did your love go? I didn’t see that it left I was caught up counting seconds with my head laid on your chest Cause when you’d sing to me, I’d never felt so safe Cause all I’d ever wanted I could find in your embrace I thought we had more days in the sun

One day, someday far away You will, miss my presence On the inside, where I do my best work On the inside, you will miss me How could you trade me in for Ferdinand? I swear that he will never take you where you long to go And you will always regret dumping me on the streets of Milwaukee When I belong here in the bright lights Seventeen reasons I gave you that night Because I am the king of rejection Try to remember October of 73 That’s when you still loved me I’m still that man, and we still can take on the world to win it all But you’ve fallen for someone else But one day, someday far away You will, miss my presence On the inside, where I do my best work On the inside, you will miss me

Now let me begin, say what I’ve felt and what I’m feeling, oh hey love I turned you into my god, I couldn’t hold back, I couldn’t hold it in I wanted you right here, I wanted you right now But you just disappear, it makes me want you more I want you more, I want you more I want you more, I want you more I need you now, my hearts unfurled I look at you, I see my world Don’t tell me that you want me to let go I wanna hold you in my arms tight, tight It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night As long as I can feel, well I will still believe it’s real Because my love, it has no limits and my heart still has you in it Can’t you read my eyes? Can’t you see I’m crying? Yes I’ll say I’m fine, yes my dear I’ll lie to you What did you want me to say? “Hey you, I want to own your heart! I’m lying down in bed crying over you at night!” I guess I should have known it wouldn’t matter in the end Cause you can see that I’m so lost but still refuse to take my hand I always thought you’d make me happy but I’m still here all alone I am beaten, broken, bleeding, but I still just can’t let go I wanted you right here, I wanted you right now But you just disappear, it makes me want you more I want you more, I want you more I want you more, I want you more, I want you more

Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo Forgiveness it comes, forgiveness it goes Just where it goes, nobody knows It’s like the moon, waxes and wanes It’s always changing, never stays the same So love, love is hard, love is life, and it’s pain Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo No one could fault you for leaving, it’s heavy to hold onto grieving "Let it go", I wish that I could choose to just be happy It’s not your fault, say it loudly, you still have worth, feel it proudly I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to feel like I belong here I’ll try to stand and hold these walls as they fall down Here I stand, foolish man, here I stand Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo Forgiveness it comes, forgiveness it goes Just where it goes, nobody knows It’s like the moon, waxes and wanes It’s always changing, never stays the same So love, love is hard, love is life, and its pain Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe
