A name lights up inside a thought I didn't send, I chose the road that took me somewhere else, Now every quiet minute says your name And I get mad at me for feeling it again. Then I argue with myself.

Why am I thinking about him. You know why. You don't get to keep him just because you miss him. Why ooh, why Why ooh, why Why ooh, why
