[Verse 1:]
Babe, just say you miss me, is it that hard?
Too long since I've heard about our love
Am I in this by myself? Hey yeah
With rose colored lenses on my store bought frames
To see something other than these blues and grays
I need something different, hey yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause you ain't feeling the same
[Hook:]
Who knows, maybe I'm crazy, that's one big maybe
But even a fool knows when it's gold, gold, gold
I know pyrite from 24 karat, yeah
Cubic's from genuine diamond, yeah
A call from the woman who loves you and hello from a friend
I know when it's real, I know how to tell
I know the difference between what you say and how you feel
Oh, oh I know when it's real
[Verse 2:]
Oh, I can tell the difference every time that you call
But I don't need a drink I need some time in my car
Time to drive and think, time to park and cry
You shoulda known you were beautiful
You shoulda known what I saw in you, yeah
Please forgive me for feeling like it's all your fault
A heavy heart can't carry blame for the loss
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
You might not notice but I'm a man with pride
And this hurts me baby deep down, deep down
I can't let go of this, gotta know I tried
It's pathetic baby don't lie, don't lie
I'm a candle, you're the sun
And you're burning baby, you're burning baby
Burning up, burning up
Burning up, burning up, burning up, yeah
[Outro:]
Pyrite from 24 karat yeah
Cubic's from genuine diamond yeah
A call from the woman who loves you
And hello from a friend
We'll never be more than friends
We'll never be...
