We Have To Start Somewhere

WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE
 
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
Five more minutes of me
Is five more in despair
Did you ever need me
When I wasn't there?
It isn't thoughtful of me 
To be so unfair

Let me explain cause we've never met
You haven't had the chance to break my heart just yet
You'll have to excuse my attitude
I'm really not so pessimistic or so rude
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you've never met me but we have to start somewhere

Things are really changing
Nothing seems the same
The flowers I'm arranging
Flowers in your name
The rivers have stopped raging 
The current is now tame 
I'm really not upstaging you 
Or placing blame

Let me explain cause we've never met
You haven't had the chance to break my heart just yet
You'll have to excuse my attitude
I'm really not so pessimistic or so rude
But did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you've never met me but we have to start somewhere
 
So much for tomorrow
So much for my dreams 
So much of my sorrow
Is in your pleasant schemes
And in the straight and narrow
The sunshine never beams
It really can get harrowing
Or so it seems

Let me explain cause we've never met
You haven't had the chance to break my heart just yet
You'll have to excuse my attitude
I'm really not so pessimistic or so rude
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever care?
I know you've never met me but we have to start somewhere

I know you've never met me
I'm sure you won't forget me
You really shouldn't let me 
But we had to start somewhere
