Written 1996, recorded many years later

lyrics

I don't know what to do
I wanna be with you
But it's an impossibility
To make that reality
Come true

(You see) there's someone else
To whom I gave myself
(And) though I have all these regrets
This is what I get
Oh well

This ain't how the story's supposed to end
But here we are
Wishing that I didn't want to say
Your place or my car
But the choice has been made
The plans are all set
All of my friends
Are losing their bets
And I can spend my time
Touching you and
Loving her
Or here at the bar

I don't know how to say
I don't want this to end this way
And it's not that this is bad
Whatever 'this' we once had
Hasn't gone away

This isn't how I wanted this to end
But watch me now
Trying to forget all this (building)
Somehow
But I don't want to forget
I want to recall
The smell, and the touch, and the
Taste of it all
And I can spend my time
Losing her and
Holding you
Or here at the bar

Something's wrong - NO!
That's not quite right;
Everything's gone wrong
But which is right?
Being with the one
To whom I'd trust my life
(Or) Being with the one
Who I (softer) asked to be my wife

I don't know why I feel like this
Like I can't breathe without your kiss
Like without you I'm diseased
The way your eyes tease me
Is what I'll miss

This ain't how the story's supposed
to end
But here we are
Wishing that I didn't want to say
Your place or my car
But the choice has been made
The plans are all set
All of my friends
Are losing their bets
And I can spend my time
Touching you and
Loving her
Or here at the bar
