I'll Be Alright

I’ll be alright
I’ll be just fine
There are no real scars
I’ll heal in no time
The phone’s been ringing and ringing
And ringing off the hook
I knew it wasn’t you
I didn’t bother to look
Oh, how I hoped you’d call
But I just dismissed the thought
Oh, well, how silly of me
To think this brief meeting could lead to
Long walks
And long talks
And long kisses
And oh, how I wish that
These brief passings
Of random romances
Would stay a little longer than
The hurt when it’s over
Oh, I realize
That these things take time
I guess I just thought
Maybe this time was mine
Now, I am stuck in a place
Where I am in a constant daze
It’s taken all the strength, you see
To break this hold you got on me
Well, damn those walks
And damn those talks
And to hell with your kisses
And oh, how I wish that
I never had known you
And I never had shown you
How close I had come to
Falling in love with you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I’m gonna make it through
My world didn’t start with you
