There is no chance you could ever love me, for

You're heart is in Rhode Island,

To a golden girl who adored you so,

While I am here in California

Lying to myself;

That if you walked out of my life,

I would not give you second glance,

Or third, or fourth

Because I am better than that.

But I am human; I am weak

These vulnerable words on the tips of tongues

Will execute my pride evermore,

And bring me down once again,

In swirling agony

That I have loved and I have lost

A rosewood carving of solitude;

Misguided by the multitude.
