Last week left me all verklempt
Let’s catch up and restart
Why not make a new attempt
To patch up two broken hearts

Maybe you’re too busy now to talk
Or go out for a drink
And I feel too dizzy now to walk
Let alone to think

It’s like a hurricane passed through
Where have we landed?
I’m lost and lonely without you
And you seem stranded too
