  • Well, I looked at her face
    And then I know she changed
    Yeah, my heart turned black
    Then the sky turned gray
    Yeah, my heart turned black
    Then the sky turned gray

    And so I sat in my room for twenty-seven days
    No she never called, I had something to say
    No she never called, I had something to say

    Well, I don't know much, I don't know how

    Why would she put me through such torture?
    I would have given my life for her
    She was the one that knocked me over
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

    Well, I heard she's great
    And her new boyfriend's lame
    Well, she can go to hell, I'll never be the same
    She can go to hell, I'll never be the same

    And these open wounds
    Will heal with time they say
    Yeah, my heart turned black
    Then the sky turned gray
    Yeah, my heart turned black
    Then the sky turned gray

    Well, I don't know much, I don't know how

    Why would she put me through such torture?
    I would have given my life for her
    She was the one that knocked me over
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

    Why would she put me through such torture?
    I would have given my life for her
    She was the one that knocked me over
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

    Well, I don't know much, I don't know how

    Why would she put me through such torture?
    I would have given my life for her
    She was the one that knocked me over
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

    Why would she put me through such torture?
    I would have given my life for her
    She was the one that knocked me over
    Now I'm alone sitting on the corner Writer/s: Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant
