“Why can’t we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn’t work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. And then we have to say goodbye.”
—Snoopy, Charlie Brown
covered with scars i did nothing to earn;
Jamie is over and Jamie is gone.
Jamie’s decided it’s time to move on.
Jamie has new dreams he’s building upon.
And I’m still hurting.
Jamie arrived at the end of the line.
Jamie’s convinced that the problems are mine.
Jamie is probably feeling just fine.
And I’m still hurting.
What about lies, Jamie?
What about things that you swore to be true.
What about you, Jamie?
What about you?
Jamie is sure something wonderful died.
Jamie decides it’s his right to decide.
Jamie’s got secrets he doesn’t confide.
And I’m still hurting.
Go and hide and run away.
Run away, run and find something better.
Go and ride the sun away.
Run away like it’s simple.
Like it’s right.
Give me a day, Jamie.
Bring back the lies.
Hang them back on the wall.
Maybe I’d see, how you could be,
so certain that we had no chance at all.
Jamie is over and where can I turn?
Covered with scars I did nothing to earn.
Maybe there’s somewhere a lesson to learn.
But that wouldn’t change the fact,
that wouldn’t speed the time.
Once the foundation’s cracked.
And I’m still hurting.
