James, see what we had

I was lost. I was scared

And I had nothing to lose

I took a chance. I risked my heart

And I found you

We had fun. We hung out

We were a pair

I know you had someone

But I didn't care

I'd continue to wait

But timing was always bad

James

See what we had.

 

I waited right through Brandon

And helped you through grief

Though it was tough, we made it

You turned a new leaf

I was there through Gary

And Nick didn't last

Though you said you want me

Our time never passed

I never met your standards

This, you never tried to hide

James

Know how I cried

 

I was hurt by another

In my heart, you came back

We picked up where we left off

Without any slack

Timing was right, but distance

Was how we would lose

In my mind, I moved up there

To be next to you

We embraced at the airport

As our hearts would slowly mend

James

This could have been

 

Two weeks had passed

And I couldn't get in touch

You ignored my calls and IM's

Again, I was crushed

And, finally, you called me

You found someone new

"His name is Ryan

He reminds me of you"

Your words pierced right through me

To my heart, you nailed the lid

James

It's what you did

 

And time have changed

But we're still the same

When I care, you're distant

When I'm indifferent, you're in pain

You're busy, too busy

To keep contact with me

Or you need to talk things through

'Cause you're in misery

You'll have someone new tomorrow

The only question is just who

James

It's what you do

 

Life goes on, I'm happy

I have someone too

His name is Anthony. He's mine now

And he's nothing like you.

He can commit for more than

A week at a time

When I ask, he'll tell me

What's going through his mind

Life without you is better

So I'll forget I want your kiss

James

Look what you missed

 

If there's ever any question

Why it never was time

Why it never worked out

Why you'd never be mine

This will stand forever

So you'll always see

The suffering you caused

The pain inflicted on me

Now you know I'm gone

And there's no need to wonder why

James

This is good-bye
