And he knows there was something there `Cause he saw it in her stare Or does he tell himself that for something to hold to Second guessing life `cause he doesn`t know the truth
And he knows, but he fakes it, that he`s doing okay And he knows, `cause he wastes it, his life and everyday
In his head he`s always known The way the story`s supposed to go But then she left, now she`s fifty states away And he wastes his hours and squanders every day
`Cause now she`s just a dream Of how things could have been So he sits at home and wonders where she is And what she`s doing, does she ever think of him
And he keeps on writing her letters Ones he`ll never send And he wishes he had a picture So he could see her face again
And he knows, but he fakes it, that he`s doing okay And he knows, `cause he wastes it, his life and everyday
