Today I read your note one last time
And made a picture in my mind
Then I buried your words in the ground
For no one to be found
It troubles me to see the dirt on my hands
But I think you’d understand
God I miss you, God I miss you
Oh, I know you are thinking of me but it’s just not enough
You say: Be patient, my dear, but I need you here
But instead you’re lost in feelings for somebody else
And it hurts me you’re with him now instead of me
Instead of me
Instead of me
Sometimes it’s almost too much to bear
And it seems so unfair
Every secret and every little lie
Feeds the guilt inside
Now I know there is no other way
Still I long for the day
We can be as one, be as one
Oh, I know you’ll be thinking of me but it’s just not enough
You say: Be patient, my dear, but I need you here
But instead you’re lost in feelings for somebody else
And it hurts me you’re with him now instead of me
Instead of me, instead of me
And it hurts me you’re with him now instead of me
Instead of me
Instead of me
Let’s pretend for a moment, my dear
We could have it our way
Our very own place, sipping red wine and beer
On the porch, on a summer’s day
Wouldn’t that be great?
But till then you’re lost in feelings for somebody else
And it hurts me you’re with him now instead of me, instead of me
And it hurts me you’re with him now instead of me
Instead of me
Instead of me
