<poem>Sometimes I feel very sad | |||
Sometimes I feel very sad | |||
When I think of what I once had | When I think of what I once had | ||
Everything you gave to me | Everything you gave to me | ||
Everything a boy could need | |||
Everything | |||
I've thrown it all away | I've thrown it all away | ||
I've gone and lost my way | I've gone and lost my way | ||
It's not like yesterday | It's not like yesterday | ||
I've thrown it all away | I've thrown it all away | ||
My room is empty now | My room is empty now | ||
You don't even hear it now | |||
You don't even | |||
But I remember playing there | But I remember playing there | ||
Do you too, or don't you care? | |||
Do you too or don't you care? | |||
I've thrown it all away | I've thrown it all away | ||
I've gone and lost my way | I've gone and lost my way | ||
It's not like yesterday | It's not like yesterday | ||
I've thrown it all away</poem> | |||
I've thrown it all away | |||
