i came by to get my things
thank you for getting the door
but i don't feel right walking in no more
you think its cold i did my cying at home
but i'm numb now,i'm numb now

before i'm on my way
i have one more thing to ask..
was it worth the price you paid
for my never coming back
why did you mess with forever'
such a long time to be unkind
why did you mess with forever'

don't you call me crule
curels what your making me do
stick to my roots and the odds are with me now
so stay, don't go ahead and stay

before i'm on my way
i have one more thing to ask..
was it worth the price you paid

for my never coming back
why did you mess with forever'
such a long time to be unkind
why did you mess with forever'

you asked to kiss me once goodbye
but you already did
on somebody elses lips....

(this line is hard to tell)
the ones you hold responsible
they lost me
you lost me

and everything inside me tell me i should run to you and throw my arms around
you
hold your still and crying cheek against my own and tell you nothings wrong
but wrong is what you were when you forgot we were going on
we were going on
we were goind on

tell me why did you, why did you mess with forever'
what a long time be unkind..
why did you mess with forever'
