I knew you once
You never knew me then
Afraid to ever say, I wanted to be friends
And now the years have passed, you're far away
And suddenly I feel I'm not the same

The walls are breaking down
I think I'm crackin' up
I look around
Now everything's too much

And the world is spinnin' much too fast
Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last
The world is slippin' from my grasp
I'm looking 'round to find, the girl I left behind
You were the best I never had

Remember when
I saw you in the hall
You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all
And if I'd had the guts, I'd catch your glance
But I am just the boy without a chance

The walls are breaking down
I think I'm crackin' up
I look around
Now everything's too much

And the world is spinnin' much too fast
Well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last
The world is slippin' from my grasp
I'm looking 'round to find, the girl I left behind
You were the best I never had
