Well I see him every morning in the schoolyard
'Fore the school-bell rings
And when he passes in the hallway
well he doesn't
Seem to notice me
He's got a crush on my best friend
But she don't care 'cause she loves someone else
I'm standing on the outside of the inside of
Where I want to be
Love's ankind love's unkind
Love's unkind love's unkind
'Cause he's not mine
Just the other day I was praying he wauld give me a chanc
Hoping he would choose me as his partner
For the High-school dance
I was standing outside the class

call me up when you need
strangers often deceive
and there's something so freeing
to call out a name
and someone's believing
i've been changing my mind

something i can't explain
keeps me running, afraid
and every day
looks me in the face and says
"who'd you think you were, anyway?"

If fate holds a purpose

Every time your soul starts breaking
In the face of the fire
You see angels conspire
Will they hear your desires
Will they stop your soulbreaking
Could they stop your soulbreaking

I see you waiting in the shadows
Wonderin' where I've been
Dusty old piano, it's you and me again
My old friend
I'll just have to chance a few lines
Now that we're alone
All that happiness, those silly rhymes
They just don't seem at home now that he's gone
So make it sad, so sad
Like "Faded Love" or "Born To Lose"
Cause it's sad when a love song sings the blues
I see my reflection on the black keys
Where the tears fell from my eyes
I wanna play out every memory
Every last goodbye
