You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
Am G F Cb/G
By smiling bright for everyone but you

And if I'm so smart

How can I learn so slow

You had the hard part

I was the last to know

I let the flash blind me

The years pass by

Standing in your light for most of the time

I knew it would hurt you

But it put down my loneliness

And that felt like virtue enough
