[verse 1]
I Saw her talk to him
He was a gentleman
Or so she thought
He was so polite
With his pecs through skin tight
Shirt
Started feeling up her skirt
To show off all he's got
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Playing slick
Pretty quick
Before they both got caught in the act
They were going steady
But I'm not ready
To face these facts
I want to forget
But my mind won't let
Me let her go
As if my feet are taped here...so
[Chorus 1]
...won't someone help me out
'cause I'm left in the dust of the shadow of her doubts
Dreaming of way back then
Living in a picture of what could have been
And you know this really hurts
So is this trouble really worth
The time
[Verse 2]
I saw right through his grin
A darker side of him
She just can't see
And I want to
Convince her otherwise
There are plenty of other guys
This is just too much for me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When they're in the hall
And i hear them call
I run away
I just can't ignore
How he speaks for
Every word she'd say
I don't wanna chat
'cause i only know that
He'll want to stay
And once again i'm left this way
[Chorus 2]
Won't someone help me out
'cause I'm left in the dust of the shadow of her doubts
Dreaming of way back then
Living in a picture of what could have been
And you know this really hurts
So is this trouble really worth
The time
[Bridge]
Oh conscience my dear old friend..
Will this ceaseless chasing ever end
You're making promises I know you can't keep
"We were always meant to be"
When in truth
I am stuck beneath her feet
And I'm struggling to breath
[Chorus 3]
Won't someone help me out
'cause I'm left in the dust of the shadow of her doubts
Dreaming of way back then
Living in a picture of what could have been
And you know this really hurts
And now I'm feeling quite unsure
'cause I just want to get away
But in the end I always stay
So now I'm stepping off this turf
'cause this trouble just ain't worth
The time
