i thought you ought to know

lyrics

i once thought i was ugly
but you stopped me in my tracks
and you looked me right dead in the eye
and you said no one talks about my man like that
i once thought i was handsome
and it helped that you did too
but once you bought your ticket out
it all became old news

and i thought you ought to know
that i put on a real good show
no one can see the pain i go through
cause i never let anyone close enough to

now my days are spent lonely
i roam through this old house
and i ponder what you’d wanna do
and where you’d take me out
and once i thought i heard your voice
coming from behind me
but it was just the blowin’ wind
and the rustling of the leaves

and i thought you ought to know
that i put on a real good show
no one can see the pain i go through
cause i never let anyone close enough to

i crawled into the attic
rummaged through all of your old clothes
they smelt of must and mildew
but your scent it still came threw
i curled up hot and tired
in that pile that you left behind
and i cried myself to sleep again
like i did when you first died.

and i thought you ought to know
that i put on a real good show
no one can see the pain i go through
cause i never let anyone close enough to
