I said I had to have my room
I couldn't settle down too soon
I said I had something to prove when I left her alone.
I was talking to her yesterday
her heartache has gone away
She goes out to play while I stay home
and I can't cry 'cause...

I'm the one who turned away
what am I goin' through
I think about her night and day
She's looking for someone new
She used to feel the same
but I had to play my game
Now I'm lonely is all I can say
Cause I turned away.

I wonder If I'll ever find
what I've been looking for all of this time
Everything I leave behind will never come again
I had her in the palm of my hand
Now she's gone and I'm a lonely man
It's hard to understand what can I do
I can't cry 'cause...
