He Loved you So Much

Cool,

wearing corduroy

there’s that horrible feeling

that nothing feeling

 

You had your moments, but seemed kind of standoffish

and kept stepping off the sidewalk on the way out of your office

you were always there, you were always there

 

He wanted to walk next to you

I’m not sure you ever wanted to meet him on time

but you did say you’d mind it, getting recognized

 

But he loved you so much

he stayed by your side

he loved you so much

he would never leave you

he loved you so much,

he was scared to tell you.

 

He was the one who’d really lived, honestly

and you were the one who drove dangerously at night

not like cowboys and shootouts, but distracted by the cigarette light

 

It was you who wanted to leave his sweet, sweet eyes

you tried, seemed like you tried

but not hard enough

no, not hard enough

 

But he loved you so much

he stayed by your side

he loved you so much

he would never leave you

he loved you so much,

he was scared to tell you.

 

Together, here on Earth

“it’s nothing special,” you said

but why on Earth

would he look interested

but try to get it over with?

 

But he loved you so much

he stayed by your side

he loved you so much

he would never leave you

he would never leave you

he was scared to tell you.

 

But he loved you so much

he stayed by your side

he loved you so much

he would never leave you

he loved you so much,

he was scared to tell you.

 

Cool

I had a feeling

a bad, bad feeling

 

It was never as cold

as it is now, you said

he used to offer you his jacket

but you can’t take it anymore
