I hate to think that it has to come to this,
Seeing you makes me wish I was never brave,
Brave enough to step out of my comfort zone
To ask you on our first date.

If it helps you to know that I still think about you,
There's a pile of letters underneath my bed addressed to you
I don't have the heart to send them
I already broke your heart once . . .

Here's to the past of broken hearts and shattered dreams
I was 97% sure we were something special, together
All I ever wanted was for you to be happy,
But in the end, misery, like a stone wall, is all I'm left with
3% changed me forever, and I'll never be the same

I didn't mean to say all I did - I'm sorry, I'll do better
I guess I was moving too fast - but you never said anything
Now all I have are memories of you
Your smile, your touch, the sound of your voice . .
Your smile, your touch, the sound of your voice!

But I'm empty and alone, without you by my side
3% uncertainty is all it takes to shatter dreams . . . all I wanted was your honesty, that's all I gave you . . . I guess I was terribly wrong about you . . . VK.
