Mr Nobody

Call me Mr. Nobody That guy you see every now and again You know me, but you don’t, you still think my name’s Ben Allowing nothing emotional to find its way in Mr. Nobody - lost among the see of men Call me Mr. Nobody Even when you were too weak to walk Full of tears, full of shock – yet I still made time to walk you around the block All the while listening to you cry over some dumb jock Mr. Nobody – as reliable as a clock Call me Mr. Nobody It seems like that is all I am to you Someone to talk to when you blue Someone to take care of you when you have the flu Someone who only comes on cue Someone you can easily subdue Mr. Nobody – the man in love with you Call me Mr. Nobody The man’s who love for you swallowed the sea Who – given the slightest hint – would have collapsed on bended knee If only life was like some sappy Hollywood love story I know I would wake up each day to your loving face next to me But it’s not… It isn’t – hey are you busy? It isn’t – I had such a bad day! It isn’t – I’m so sad! It isn’t – the world made me so mad! But since you don’t know I’ll change it just for you Call me Mr. Nobody The man you once knew, but could never see Just how much you meant to me
