Sodapop - Like We Never Loved At All

I was walkin in the city. I was just tryin to clear my head and maybe have a good time. That was until I saw you. You were standin there with your beautiful blonde hair swayin and your ocean blue eyes sparkling. You looked real cute in that yellow tank top and blue jeans.

I look at who you're with. A guy. A real handsome guy with dark brown hair and emerald green eyes. He smiles and whispers something in your ear. You giggle and he grins. He wraps his arm around you as you walk by.

You never looked so good
as you did last night,
underneath the city lights,
there walking with your friend,
laughing at the moon.
I swear you looked right through me.
But I'm still living with your goodbye,
and you're just going on with your life.

I stare at you but you don't seem to notice. You look directly at me and think I'm just a face in the crowd. Do you not remember me? Can you not feel one little twist of love for me? It's almost like we never loved at all

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

I sit in the booth at this old diner. I don't order anything I just stare off into space thinking about how you left me. As far as I can tell you're doin just fine gettin over me. I haven't laughed since you've left, haven't even cracked a smile. How did you get over me so quickly? I'd sure like to know your secret. Then I wouldn't have to deal with the pain of loving you now that you're gone.

You, I hear you're doing fine.
Seems like you're doing well
as far as I can tell.
Time is leaving us behind,
(time – leaving us behind)
another week has passed
and still I haven't laughed yet.
So tell me, what your secret is
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
to letting go, letting go like you did,
like you did.

I see you walk past the window of the diner and I feel myself shake. I choke back a sob and just watch until you melt away into the crowd rushing by. As far as I can tell… we never loved at all.

How can you just walk on by
without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.

What happened to the magic that used to surround us when we were together? What happened to the passion we had when we kissed? Do you long for my kiss, when you lay in your nice warm bed at night? Do you miss me being right by your side?

Did you forget the magic?
Did you forget the passion?
Oh, and did you ever miss me,
and long to kiss me?
Oh baby, baby
.

I guess you have your own special way of dealing with the pain, the pain you caused me when you left me, the pain inside because you miss me. Just forget and drift away. Get away from the pain. Now I no as I stand up and walk out of that diner where we met, that we sure as hell, never loved at all.

Maybe that's just your way
of dealing with the pain,
forgetting everything
between our rise and fall
like we never loved at all.
