This is a song by David Hammond.
I saw her in the alley.
She was looking back at me.
I said, “I made a promise
That I knew I couldn't keep.”She turned her head away
And then she curled up in a ball.
I asked her what was wrong.
She said, “There's nothing wrong at all.”I turned to walk away
And then she made a little laugh.This is me.
“You put my feelings on hold.”
This is me.
“How can you be so cold?”
This is me.
If I may be so bold,
Reach for my hand and then you will see
This is me.That's what you get for passion.
You take what you can get.
I've given all I've got
And haven't gotten any yet.You say that it's beneath you,
But your feet are on the ground.
So take my words as silence
Til the feeling comes around.You make the choice to stay.
I won't weep on your behalf.This is me.
“You put my feelings on hold.”
This is me.
“How can you be so cold?”
This is me.
If I may be so bold,
Reach for my hand and then you will seeThis is me.
“You're streaming from my eyes.”
This is me.
“Always seduced by your lies.”
This is me.
Why was it such a surprise?
You locked the door and threw out the key.
This is me.
