I was broken, I was distraught
I was alone in the world, at least that's what I thought
And I was sullen and I was sad
Cause I had lost the only girl I'd ever had
And suddenly I was Romeo writing her some poems
Saying I was sorry begging her to come home
I wish you could've seen it cause it seems crazy now
What was that all about
Me crying all day
When you were on the way
She said she loved me with all her heart
And I said I love you too, that's why we're never gonna part
And I believed it but I was wrong
Because part with me she did and it didn't take her long
But I was right about being in love, that's for sure
Yes I was madly in love but it wasn't with her
I had fallen for a fantasy I'd built in my mind
Romance made me blind
To the problems at play
When you were on the way
Now here in our house life is sublime
And once in a while my thoughts drift to earlier times
So I get out my old photographs
You know they used to make me cry, now they make me laugh
Cause I'm marveling at that miserable youth
If I could tell him about you he wouldn't think it was the truth
And if he makes me misty-eyed, darling please understand
He made me who I am
And what can I say
I didn't know you were on the way
