I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I have a smile and I have a tear in my eye

But mostly - oh, you know -
My heart falls to you on the less happy, lower-end side


I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I must have loved you, even on the back line

For why else would the thought of you haunt me
To such a wickedly sharp-edged degree
and it's slicing me up and it's spitting me out...


[Chorus:]
I sing my song for you

I sing out loud for you
I sing my song for you
My only relief from you


I think back
My mind drifts back on you

I'm a helpless child still frozen in your light
I look away to protect myself
Because I feel that you would burn me like the sun


[Chorus]
I sing my song for you

you take the breathing...
I sing out loud for you
and I am sinking...

I sing my song for you
you leave me on the low...
My only relief from you


You never should have happened
So goes my song for you

I think back...
So goes my song for you


I think back
My mind drifts back on you
I dream the same dream of you like an automatic dial

And I cannot afford to spend this time on you
So I ask you to please leave my mind
because you never belonged in there, did you


[Chorus]
I sing my song for you

you take the breathing from me
I sing out loud for you
and I am drifting slowly

I sing my song for you
you leave me on the low side
My only relief from you


So goes my song for you
That you never should have happened

No, you never should've happened
So goes my song for you
You never should have happened

And I sing out loud for you
