Marybeth

Marybeth, have I been on your mind?
Or has it cured with the passing of time?
Love isn't what I'd hoped it to be
One more broken childhood fantasy

Marybeth, it's a quarter to five
And I'm alone for the thousandth time
It's not that I don't like my company
But sometimes I don't get what you saw in me

'Cause I'm not sure who I am
When I'm all alone
And life's easier to plan
With someone to hold

Marybeth, if there's a meaning to life
Do you think I'll find it in someone else's eyes?
I do my best and give it a try
So when my friends ask me, I won't have to lie

Not sure who I am
When I'm all alone
And life's easier to plan
With someone to hold

We came so close didn't we?
We came close didn't we?
We came close didn't we?

Marybeth, have we met?
Seen you somewhere but for now I forget
You came before and I know you'll come next
But it's hurt like hell each time you left
