I see you standing in the rain
And now I’m waiting there again
I think it’s love
“Well so does everybody else”
Or so you say
It doesn’t have to be this way
Don’t want to play your silly games
“You wouldn’t want me if I couldn’t still be free”
Or so you say
Blinded by your beauty
The kind of things you’re doing to me
Dazzled by the sunlight
Frightened that I’ll give myself away
Or so you say, or so you say, or so you say
Blinded by your beauty
Frightened by your naked cruelty
Flattered that you choose me
Staggered by the ways you use me
The more I think about you
The less I want to be around you
The more I thought I knew you
The less I ever mattered to you
I can’t believe the things I’m hearing myself say
You only wanted me to fill some empty days
I never dreamed that I could still feel jealousy
You never meant to let me think you wanted me
It only seems like yesterday
I know the memories will fade
“Whatever happened would have happened anyway”
Or so you say
Blinded by your beauty
The kind of things you’re doing to me
Dazzled by the sunlight
Your shadow’s where I’m feeling alright
You really are amazing
I can’t explain how I’m behaving
End of situation
One more night and you’ll be on your way
Or so you say, or so you say
Or so you say, or so you say
