I think about the ones that got away
This lonely feeling might be here to stay
I stay up late and wait for her call
But my hope is beginning to fall
She thinks she's special, she thinks she's cool
She makes me feel like I'm a tool
Always playing silly games with my head
Get me thinking I'd be better off dead

Chorus:
They say someday THINGS WILL WORK OUT
But not till I discover what this GAME'S ABOUT
They say someday THINGS WILL BE FINE
And so goes this PATHETIC STORY OF MINE

I see you over there talking to him
I try to cover up my sorrow with a grin
I just wish we could give this a chance
But she won't even give me a glance
Am I ugly, is there something on my face?
Why am I leaving this room in discrace?
I should be out with friends all night long
Instead I'm sitting here writing this song

Chorus

How long do I have to be alone
My confidence is sinking like a stone
A sorry reflection staring back at me
At least my dog can keep me company
Girls say they like nice guys
But it's just another torturous lie
It's like a big joke that I just don't get
A punch-line that I haven't realized yet

Chorus
