the fling Lyrics

I don't get why you still cross my mind

When I pass your street

I mean, after all, we both know that you never gave me anything

Is your bed still the same

Do you whisper my name into those chilly sheets

Except I know, my dear, you've moved on from here

To a happier city's streets

And I'm so mad at myself for still missing you

Barely remember your face or your name

The boy I almost thought I knew

I don't get why your ghost won't leave me alone

He still haunts me in my dreams

Yeah, he sits beside me and tells pretty lies

Oh, he'll tell me anything

He said he realized when he looked in my eyes

That I was good enough to try for

And I'll start to believe him and then he'll leave

And I'll remember everything

And I'm so angry for setting my eyes so low

I can do better, I know, I know

But it hurts that if that boy changes it won't be for me

If he's finally good, if he acts like he should

It's for a woman I could never be

I bet she's pretty and perky and fun

I bet she's easy and calls you her number one

And it's so sad, singing of a boy I never had

Who never was, who never will be

The one you would have been if you had cared for me
