lyrics

I barely even noticed you the first time we met.
You cracked a little joke with a half grin.
I went about my life not knowing it was sinking in.
If only I knew what lay around the bend.

For a stratospheric two weeks I really thought you were mine.
Everyone around could see the change.
If only I knew then I could have never been right,
I might not have met you again.

But you opened my eyes to more music,
the life and the breath of a song.
I learned while my heart was in pieces, and got along.

You were the star in my movie,
a fact I never liked to know.
You were both mentor and villain,
and for awhile, the lead in my show.

By early November the story was clear.
I was the only one who wanted more.
You bid me goodbye, but I foolishly tried,
and kept one foot in a heavy door.

I'd like to forget most of it.
May I please forget but not all of it.

Cuz you opened my eyes to more music,
the life and the breath of a song.
I learned while my heart was in pieces, and got along.

You were the star in my movie,
a fact I never liked to know.
You were both mentor and villain,
and for awhile, the lead in my show.
And for awhile, the lead in my show.
