the record skipped

the record may skip, but it was never broken

the heart was torn, but it was never broken
he lost his mind when he lost you
the truth is sadder words were never spoken
than when you said let's be just friends
he did not know what to do
the record skipped when you said
"i don't love you"

he still doesn't think you meant it
you were just trying to keep a friend
but he just might have to face
you put her ahead of him

he doesn't want to believe it
he believed he knew your heart
and he saw you were broken
compromised and torn apart

but you went on, he had to go away
he could not lie, and so he could not stay
somehow you let go and found another to take his place
but was it ever as real as what you had with him
that it may be a question you'll never face

for conformity and compromise is the easier thing to do
than to overcome what others say you should do
and stay true to the love inside of you

is he living an illusion
is he lost in love's confusion
is he creating delusion
to believe in your true love

is it just a fantasy
is it just inside of him (or me?)
to believe reality
is the dream you still dream of

true love is always true
the record skipped, still stuck on you
the record skipped, still stuck on you
the record skipped, still stuck on you
still stuck
still stuck
still stuck
still stuck on you
