The One that I Love

I cooked a meal and I threw it away.

Wrote you a letter but I tore it up.
Went to bed but I couldn't sleep.
Went for a walk but I had to turn back.

When someone's in your head
There are many things that are never said.
And when someone's on your mind
The things you feel are hard to define.

When the one that I love is far from me,
When the one that I love doesn't talk to me,
When the one that I love never finds the time,
I wish I could change my mind.

I 'phoned up my mother, but the 'phone's engaged.
I poured me a drink but I can't face another.
I sit in a room full of memories,
I pass the time in a reverie.
