Well, she'll be leavin today i do know
So far away
I'm feelin so blue and it shows
In every single way

Once that girl, she was mine
For such a short time
We used to spend every night
Now all i do is cry
They say, that you can't miss
Somethin that you've never had
So tell me why
Why i could feel so bad

Well we used to walk down the path
Just like lovers do
She'd hold my hand and we'd laugh
And i'd stare in her eyes - they were blue, ooh

Once that girl she was mine
For such a short time
We used to spend every night
Now all i do is cry

They say, that you can't miss
Somethin' that you've never had
So tell me, why
Why i should feel so bad...

Gin Blossoms is an American rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label album, New Miserable Experience, and the first single released from that album, “Hey Jealousy”. “Hey Jealousy” became a Top 25 hit and went gold, and New Miserable Experience eventually went quadruple platinum; four other charting singles were released from the album. The band’s follow-up album, Congratulations I’m Sorry (1996), went platinum and the single “As Long as It Matters” was nominated for a Grammy Award. Gin Blossoms broke up in 1997. Since reuniting in 2001, the band has released Major Lodge Victory in 2006, No Chocolate Cake in 2010, and Mixed Reality in 2018.
