[Verse 1]
So here I stand
Won't you take me as I am
A friend of mine told me you would
I don't feel entitled
But it'd be awful kind
To quiet my evil mind

[Refrain 1]
'Cause all this time
All I hear are the harshest whispers in my ear
Loud as winter's aching fear
I wonder when will come the clear

[Verse 2]
Except for October
I've been eleven months sober
No love drunk nights with golden beauty queens
Not that one would help me
'Cause God I get so angry
When you call me up crying on the phone

[Refrain 2]
Up in my ear
Tell me all about your new affair
And darling I wish I was where
It wouldn't hurt me when you hold his hand
[Verse 3]
But here I am
And all my love seems flown away
I dream of your candor
All the things you used to say
I still have the mirror you gave me on Valentine's day
But you threw me away

[Refrain 2]
In my ear
Tell me all about your new affair
And darling I wish I was where
It wouldn't hurt me when you hold his hand

[Outro]
But here I am
And all my love seems flown away
I dream of your candor
And I miss the things you used to say
It's been so long, so long
Since the shortest rain
And I never got over
I just kind of got older
