Berlin, Texas Lyrics

It was days after my uncle died

But I met you

That same week my dog had died

But I met you

I found hope in your Eastern European eyes

You were my emotional disguise

And on our first dates

I was so nervous

Too nervous to eat

I'd get home at night, so excited

Too excited to sleep

Your accent still haunts me in my dreams

Why don't you come back to me?

I wish that I always liked myself

The way that I liked myself when I was with you

I wish that I didn't need someone else to like myself

It's my lack of security

That's always getting the best of me

When we broke up you said

Through tears in your eyes

That I still want you in my life

Well, I still want you

I still want you

I still want you in my life
