My Adam

Nobody knows how much pain I go through
And those that know, don't care and ignore it
And when I look at you, I wish all my problems would disappear
But instead, they just multiply

What I'm going through is like being in Hell
Nobody's quite sure where I am or what I'm going through
And I wish I could tell you
How I wish I could tell you
But you're never there

I'm hopelessly in love with you and you know it
Or at least you did once upon a time
And although we keep spreading apart,
I still hope someday we'll find each other again

I try to deny it sometimes, but why?
Maybe it's because deep down inside I know
You'll never feel the same way
And I'm just kidding myself a dream that won't come true

Sure, there'll be other boys as funny, smart, and sweet as you
But none of them will be as perfectly right
You stole my heart the day I met you
And now I wonder if I really want it back
But I can't get it back anyway

So I'll hold on to the memories,
Wondering if they were really that way
Or was I just in denial,
Kidding myself once again?
No, I'll never know
I can't ever know.
