in the midst of the firing range

Man I hate that I can't see you anymore
Maybe we talked too much or not enough - I guess I can't be sure
I'm in my room, you occupy my mind
I said you didn't care you said that ain't fair but really it wasn't our time
You were my best friend - from the minute we met
I feel amputated - man, I'm a mess
It's a goddamn pity - lightning don't strike twice
It's sad to lose someone - it'll never be the same  
A familiar face in the midst of the firing range

Everybody told me not to fall in love with you
It's not that they don't like you - they just hate to see me blue

Man it's tough - lettin' delusions go
I had us married up, 2 kids enough, we'll move to an outer borough 
But in my heart - I knew it couldn't last
I was too aware of the difference in years and I couldn't seem to let it pass
You always told me - it's the way it's meant to be
Maybe that soothes you - it don't do a thing for me
It's a goddamn pity - lightning don't strike twice
It's sad to lose someone - I'll miss the plans we made 
A familiar face in the midst of the firing range 

Everybody told me this is how it would end
I'll never get used to losing - but sometimes ya know ya just can't win

It's a goddamn pity - lightning don't strike twice
It's sad to lose someone - it'll never be the same  
A familiar face in the midst of the firing range
