I watch you waltz with her and know it’s right.
I picture you with
me and know it’s wrong.
And if I give in to what I should fight,
I’ll dance with
you—but never to this song.
I watch her smile each time she hears you croon;
She knows the
verses; I just hum along.
And if she fails to harmonize your tune,
I’ll match you
word for word—but not this song.
You hold her and I see her knees go weak.
When I came on
too strong, you ran away.
We each thought that the other was unique;
We thought our
lives would be a passion play.
But that’s a
club to which I can’t belong
Because my
range is bigger than your song.
