I must confess
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You kissed my head as you stood in the door
And then you said:
"don't want to see you no more"
All I could say as you walked out on me
Was how I hoped
you'd remembered your key
Took one last look
Took the phone of the hook
I must confess I agree
All o those days when I went through a phase
Of missing the love that you bore
In retrospect there's something I can't neglect
I was missing a love
but not yours
The love that you bore
that thing that I once adored
Was no gift that you gave me each time
Thinking again,
what a fool I was then
It was a trophy
of yours and a burden of mine
