salad days - single version

I'm always smiling but I can't deny
How I'm feeling is far from alright
And to think that I was just fine
And again you ran through my mind
Here alone in bed
I cry as I recall
All the nights I spent with you
And how you turned my life blue

Another night sleeping alone
Another day spent on my own
The stupid tattoo on my arm
Reminds me of how good things were in the past
Life keeps going on
And I've feeling like I'm stuck for a while
I tried to leave it behind
But I just can't forget those broken eyes

How have you been? How do you do?
It has been a while since I can't stop thinking of you
How's the dog? How's your mom?
Did she ever get that blouse for you?
I wish I was there, holding your hand
I wish you were here, here in my arms

I still read the letters you wrote
And I kiss them before going to sleep
Walking the streets alone
I wonder if you're doing okay
Every part of my soul
Has dried up since you're not here
Me, I'm kinda burnt out
But I'm gonna get better and make it work out

How have you been? How do you do?
Do you think of me like I'm always thinking of you?
How's your lil bro? How are your friends?
Do they still think that I'm a piece of shit?
I wish I could change, I wish you could see
I wish I could take back everything
