This one is called "I'm not quite"
One, two, one, two, three, four
Do-do-do-do-dah
Do-do-do-do-dah-dah
Do-do-do-do-dah-do-dah
The hand that wrote this letter sweeps the pillow clean
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
I care for no one else but you
I tear my soul to cease the pain
I think maybe you feel the same
What can we do?
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
So I've been writing just for you
They say your life is going very well
I hear you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
He makes you laugh, he gives you every chance
He treats you well and brings you out in style
And when he's strong, he's strong for you
And when you kiss, it's something new
But did you ever call my name?
Just by mistake?
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
