I was you standing all alone across the crowded room. 

I didn't think that I would see you soon and you, you don't move. 

You wear your whole life there in circles underneath your eyes.


All I need to know is how to read between the lines, 

but you somehow hide it all.


I watched you spill your drink and laugh you're such a drama queen. 

You always look so good when you wear black and green, 

but you, you're not fooling anyone.


It was crowded but I knew that you were close. 

I don't think I like this little game of cat and mouse, 

but you, you don't show. 

It was almost 3 o'clock when you walked up to me.


I started to but found that I just could not speak, 

but you, you looked so prepared.


You said something and I didn't know what it was. 

I watched your lips move but your voice wasn't loud enough. 

So I just smiled and nodded that's when you decided to just walk, walk away.


I got this overwhelming feeling like there's something wrong. 

Maybe it's the lighting or this same old song, but it's just all in my mind. 

I watched you walk across the room and then you disappeared. 

I lost you in the crowd beneath the chandelier, and they, they don't care.


You were on the terrace in the rain. 

I asked you if you would come back in, but you just sighed. 

I could tell that you were crying 

by the way the mascara ran down your face in such tragic lines.


You said something and I didn't know what it was. 

I think that you sounded like you were a little drunk. 

So I looked over your shoulder that's when you said 

I told you so and just walked, walked away.


Ran down your face


You said something and I didn't know what it was.

Something about how you tried but you're giving up. 

So I leaned in for a kiss that's when you said 

I can't do this and just walked, walked away.
