You, Dear

I've spent a lot of time looking out of hotel windows
I've seen the trees concave when that Colorado wind blows
I know the metro system inside out
Paris never changes I know my way about

If only I said no when you asked me to dance
As I pulled away you whispered stay
I was in a trance
I happen to know that what I felt you felt too
But that makes no difference to me
I know this love is doomed

But you, dear, I didn't think I'd find you here
Roaming in the corners of my mind
Well in there you'll find
A note that I wrote the other day
Don't read it just leave it
It might give me away

I never liked you much
You're always so complacent
And though I laugh along
I find you test my patience
Sure I have less fun when you are not around
And when I come to think of it my feet don't touch the ground

But you, dear
I didn't think I'd find you here
Roaming in the corners of my mind
Well in there you'll find
A note I wrote the other day
Don't read it just leave it
It might give me away

Why was it you my heart cried for
(Heart cried for)
You were everything I didn't need
Just a book I was told I should read
Never looked close enough to see
That you were standing there with your heart
On your sleeve right from the start
Competing for my heart

But you, dear
I didn't think I'd find you here
Roaming in the corners of my mind
Well in there you'll find a note that I wrote the other day
Don't read it, just leave it
It might give me away
