She was honest past the point of pretty She had a girl friend, but I can't recall her name And she was desperate, far past the point of easy And nothing here would change, nothing here would change She was timid past the point of careful She had a boyfriend now, but he had a girly way He was kinda strong, you know along the lines of gentle But nothing here would ever be the same, no it'd never be the same Not for me, it would never be the same (Chorus) And I keep forgetting I didn't make her happy I keep forgetting I didn't make her love me I keep forgetting I didn't make her lonely She was all of this before me She'll be that way without me
She was honest when it wasn't easy So I was careful, you know to try to do the same But she got desperate and it started to look pretty When she started pushing me away, she started pushing me away to the careful hands of time, and the gentle hands of change to the careful hands of time, with gentle hands (Chorus) I keep forgetting I did not make her anything at all I keep forgetting she's only human I keep forgetting I did not make her lonely She was all this before me She'll be that way without me Yeah, long before me, she'll get along without me La da da oh, la da da da da da da da da... da da da...
