Lovesick (2016)

Lovesick as I once looked at you,

  My gaze is obscured now by a half-truth.

Because, baby, I'm not sick anymore;

  But, all the same, I still must ask you:

Did you ever notice,

  When we were standing face-to-face,

That both of us are hopeless,

  But only one of us was in the wrong place?

I gave you a warmth that could forever smolder,

  But it had only made me that much colder.

  So, tonight--

  I don't know.

No--I don't know you anymore.

  I thought I knew you then,

But you were so much more

  Than anything I'd seen before or have seen since.

Tell the truth--

  What does it really do

To love someone so cold to the touch?

  Someone who only loves you half as much--

Affection and

  Love and

Sickness aside,

  The heart is wider than the sky,

But I don't know I can fit this inside.

  I guess the real question is:

Am I still boyish enough to try?

  Well, I might;

But not without this

  Question also assigned:

Did you ever notice,

  When we were standing face-to-face,

That both of us are hopeless,

  But only one of us was in the wrong place?

I gave you a warmth that could forever smolder,

  But it had only made me that much colder.

  So, tonight--

  I just don't know.

No--I don't know you anymore.

  I thought I knew you then,

But you were so much more

  Than anything I'd seen before or have seen since...

Wow! This is so good, I would like to hear this sung. I write a few songs off and on.
This is really good lyrics. Nicely presented

[Wesley Dingler]

Maybe you should make a song out of it then. You have my blessing.
