[Verse 1] You can only talk so much about things That are never, ever going to happen My brothers at home with his dog and his cat, and his wife is At a friends You can only go on so long about feelings That never, ever actually touch you No matter how much she told him I love you, he found it Would depend [Chorus 1] On the gifts that he brought her Or how badly she was hurt When the boss was cruel at work But hed just say I love you And hed reach out to her [Verse 2] He was feeling like shit when I came to visit And walked through the door of his tiny apartment We went for a walk through the park by the market so we could Get some air While I told to him all things intended to help him Especially that simply because it was ending That that didnt mean she was always pretending Real happiness was there [Chorus 2] I could see and I could tell It was real love that they felt And Im sorry it didnt end well But some things They just dont Thats life, and you Shouldnt blame yourself [Mandolin Solo] [Verse 3] And all of these things, well, I truly believe them Our paths and our futures are hidden in mists That are stretching out over impossible distances Totally obscured And I really do think that theres probably more good Than anger or selfishness, sickness or sadness Would ever completely allow us to have in this life I think Im sure [Chorus 3] But that doesnt mean its bad We were walking towards our dad While getting out of that school bus And he just said I love you, and he reached out to us
hed, thing, ever, love, mandolin
