You left one yesterday 
you took my heart away 
and now i dread each newborn day 
can i help it? 
can i help it? 
Along each thoroughfair 
while people stop and stare 
i talk to you but you're not there 
can i help it, sweetheart? 
I try to sleep 
my dreams are haunted 
by a million stars that pry 
how can i sleep? 
your eyes look just that way 
the day we said goodbye... 
  
i tried forgetting you 
i tried to hurt you too 
but now i find i still love you 
can i help it, sweetheart?
