A hundred thousand times, I've read between the lines.
The way you fell for me, it never seemed so right.
Now I just didn't have the nerve to go and talk to her,
And now I'm singing by myself.

Why do I always let my chances slip away?
I don't deserve to feel this way,
I guess things will never change.

Another drunken night and still I haven't learnt.
How much more of loneliness is left inside this world?
Back then I didn't have the nerve to go and talk to her,
Now I'm still singing by myself.

If I'd have only read your smile, we might be together

Now I feel the time has come, to let you know what I've been through,
And now I sing this song to you.
