Mess of Me (song lyrics) ...mine

There is much to be said
For waiting at the station
Watching the train depart
And I left my ticket and reservation
in my winter coat
Hanging in the closet
Beside a book of poems I wrote
for you -- and you
Would not come through
'cause there was static on the line
And you were not the type for which
absence made the heart grow fonder
No, yours went cold in time
And maybe that says more to me
than I care to admit
For my heart has a lot of room
But no one to fill it
And I'm not truly lonely
but I miss companionship
And maybe you never understood
what it feels like (3x)
to be alone -- just you
with no safety net
Nowhere to fall gently
But I do
And there's nothing left
to scare me
For you - like the others
were not there for me
didn't know how to hold me
but you could have had me forever
could've been my only
but you didn't want that role
I guess
wanted things to be simple
didn't like the mess
of me
