They passed me by, all of those great romances
you were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
my picture clear, everything seemed so easy
and so I dealt you the blow, one of us had to go
now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying in her lonely bed
staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead
one of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
wishing she had left never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I thought you kept me away from the heat and the action
just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
that's how I started the show, one of us had to go
now I've changed and I want you to know

One of us is crying, one of us is lying in her lonely bed
staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead
one of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
wishing she had left never left at all
never left at all

Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead
one of us is lonely, one of us is only waiting for a call
sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
wishing she had left never left at all
never left at all
