[Verse 1]

You're not her, though I try to see you differently

I tow the line, you see, I'm searching for what used to be mine

And I saw your eyes and I saw Alice staring back at me

So I will try to find another one who suited me as well as her


[Pre-Chorus]

I've moved far away from you

And I want to see you here beside me, dear

But things aren't clear


[Chorus]

When we never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I'd miss you

And I miss you


[Verse 2]

She was mine

I was hers and all that's in-between

If she would cry

I would shelter her and keep her from the darkness that would be


[Pre-Chorus]

I've moved far away from you

And I want to see you here beside me, dear

But things aren't clear


[Chorus]

We never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I'd miss you

And I miss you


[Bridge]

Don't drop me in, it's not my turn

If you cut deep, then I might learn

That you'd scar and leave me like a sunburn

Don't drop me in, it's not my turn

And if you cut deep, then I might learn

That you'll scar and leave me like a sunburn


[Chorus]

We never even tried

We never even talked

We never even thought in the long run

Whenever it was painful

Whenever I was away

I'd miss you

And I miss you
