A hundred numbers on my wall

Some with names I sometimes call

I drop a coin and watch it fall

Tryin' to get connected to you



A thousand hours all alone

My softest pillow turns hard as stone

This is the longest night on my own

Lying here thinking of you



Sometimes I shake my head

And laugh to myself

I'd like to start again with somebody else

I'm like a broken toy forgotten on the shelf



Baby, I could have been someone

I could have been something

It would have been nothing to die for you

Baby, you're going to need me

You'd better believe me It would have been easy to die for you



A million memories flood my brain

Drown my sorrow

Kill my pain

Whets my thirst for you again

Just another night to get through



All my neighbors scream for quiet at my door

Shattered glass and torn up photos on the floor

Well, I couldn't stand to see your pictures anymore



Baby, I could have been someone

I could have been something

It would have been nothing to die for you

Baby, you're going to need me

You'd better believe me It would have been easy to die for you



These cuts are deep but you plead innocent

Are you hell or are you heaven-sent

You're much to cold to know how much

You meant to me, yeah



A billion tear drops fallen from my eyes

But it's just a joke now

And I'm laughing at your lies

You make me hard as rock and now I realize



Baby, I could have been someone

I could have been something

It would have been nothing to die for you

Baby, you're going to need me

You'd better believe me It would have been easy to die for you
