Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart

There's nobody better than you

It took me a while 'til I knew

But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?

It just took me a while 'til I knew

Now I lay as I study a blank wall

Would you spare me your voice if I call?

'Cause you waited and watered my heart 'til it grew

You just grew a little smarter, too

So, I don't blame you

If you want to bury me in your memory

I'm not the girl I ought to be, but

Maybe when you tell your friends

You can tell them what you saw in me

And not how I turned out to be

There's some kind of burning inside me

It's kept me from falling apart

And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart

But it's kept me from falling apart

Now here I lay as I wonder about you

Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?

'Cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew

You can see how it's blossomed for you

And I don't blame you

If you want to bury me in your memory

I'm not the girl I ought to be, but

Maybe when you tell your friends

You can tell them what you saw in me

And not the way I am

And I don't mean to make your heart blue

But could we be what we're meant to be?

I'm just about to beg you, please

And then, when you tell your friends

You can tell them what you saw in me

And not the way I used to be

'Cause there is nobody better than you
