Did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
Five more minutes of me
Is five more in despair
Did you ever need me
When I wasn’t there?
It isn’t thoughtful of me to be so unfair
Let me explain ’cause we’ve never met
You haven’t had the chance to break my heart just yet
You’ll have to excuse my attitude
I’m really not so pessimistic or so rude
But did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you’ve never met me but we have to start somewhere
Things are really changing
Nothing seems the same
The forests aren’t arranging
Flowers in your name
The rivers have stopped raging
The current is now tame
I’m really not upstaging you or placing blame
Let me explain ’cause we’ve never met
You haven’t had the chance to break my heart just yet
You’ll have to excuse my attitude
I’m really not so pessimistic or so rude
But did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you’ve never met me but we have to start somewhere
So much for tomorrow
So much for my dreams
So much of my sorrow
Is in your clever schemes
In the straight and narrow
The sunshine never beams
It really can get harrowing or so it seems
Let me explain ’cause we’ve never met
You haven’t had the chance to break my heart just yet
You’ll have to excuse my attitude
I’m really not so pessimistic or so rude
But did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you’ve never met me
I’m sure you won’t forget me
You really shouldn’t let me
but we have to start somewhere
