they told me she did me wrong

they told me she did me wrong
did i get pissed?
they told me she's no good
did i get sad?
they told me what to do
did i do what to do?
they told me i'll go down
where am i right now?

and then they sang:
you've got potential
you've got it made
your future is bright
your star won't fade

and then they sang:
you've got to give her up
let her go
you've got to stop
got to stop
got to stop

and then i look into her eyes
and i see love and fear and solitude
and then i look into her eyes
and i see hopes and dreams and tears
and then i look into her eyes
and i see caring and hearts and hurts
and i see me
i see me
me
and i can't describe their color
something like brown and gray and purple and green
and she holds me
and touches my hair
and then i can't hold her stare
she says she's got to start her day
but i can't pull myself away
and i'm lying in her cloud bed
and the smell is so sweet
and i'm floating
and thinking i wouldn't mind
if this could last forever
