[Verse 1]
Marybeth, have I been on your mind?
Or has it cured with the passing of time?
Love isn't what I'd hoped it to be
One more broken childhood fantasy

Marybeth, it's a quarter to five
And I'm alone for the thousandth time
It's not that I don't like my company
But sometimes I don't get what you saw in me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not sure who I am
When I'm all alone
And life's easier to plan
With someone to hold

[Verse 2]
Marybeth, if there's a meaning to life
Do you think I'll find it in someone else's eyes?
I do my best and give it a try
So when my friends ask me, I won't have to lie

[Chorus]
Not sure who I am
When I'm all alone
And life's easier to plan
With someone to hold
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

[Bridge]
We came so close didn't we?
We came close didn't we?
We came close didn't we?

[Verse 3]
Marybeth, have we met?
Seen you somewhere but for now I forget
You came before and I know you'll come next
But it's hurt like hell each time you left
