I don't know anymore, he said,   don't know why I'm here,

don't know what I'm headin for, all I'm   feelin now is fear.

He said I lost something,   that I always had before,

I feel like I'm not really of   this world anymore.

I'm sorry babe, I said  I wish I could find

the magic spell to save you  from that state of mind.

But I'm sorry I-I know  I'm not any help at all,

don't know the secret words  that could break your fall.

Tryin' to act like it's all cool,  like there was nothin wrong,

but the face of death is  starin in  the window all night long.

We had big plans, remember,  plenty dreams to go around,

an' when we had to let it go,  so hard to land back on the ground.

--

Sorry babe, I wish I wasn't  so weak and so scared myself,

wish I had a magic wand,  an' I could be some kind of help.

Oh the things we imagine,  the things we read between the lines,

things we coulda shoulda said,  forever haunts the mind.

--

first, second

Sorry babe, how could I know your heart  when I did not know mine.

Only knew what I imagined,  what I read between the lines.

Oh maybe I'll forgive myself,  'cause you know, at the time,

I only knew what I imagined,  what I read between the lines.
