<p>I’m now just something you once had</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You frustrate me on every single planet</p>

<p>Because I can’t stop thinking about you</p>
<p>Dreaming about you</p>
<p>When I kissed you in your car</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because I know you still think of me</p>
<p>Dream of me</p>
<p>Even though you ran away far</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And baby I know that you&#8217;re gone</p>
<p>But I need you here and I&#8217;m not that strong</p>
<p>So baby</p>
<p>Just maybe</p>
<p>Please</p>
