To be clear: No, this is not about The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. No, we didn’t have a passionate love affair, and no, he didn’t break my heart – though I do sort of have the biggest crush on him! I’d had the words to this number in my head for a few days and when I went to write it, the words just easily flowed. So who’s it about? I nicknamed Facebook Flirt Springsteen after I saw a photo of him and his guitar (he’s in a band). But, as the song goes, the fun flirting stopped, I have no idea why (maybe it’s me?) and so now, I guess all I can call him is Facebook, since he obviously didn’t enjoy our little flirting fun.
That’s how it had to be
Hey Springsteen?
We knew each other from way back when
But those butterflies, they made me feel like we’d just met
An impossible dream, always a fantasy, it seems
Every time you talked to me, my insecurities faded away
And now that you’ve faded away, I don’t know what to say
except
Hey Springsteen
Did you forget about me?
Hey Springsteen
Is it so hard to believe, that out of those beautiful girls falling at your feet
That I could be the one for you?
‘Cause you really had ne going there for awhile
With your charm and swagger like a rockstar
Looks like anyone can be deceived
Hey Springsteen?
What did I say to make you shy away?
Did I say too much or not enough?
You couldn’t handle my honesty
Hey Springsteen?
When everyone was disappearing, you stayed
You let me be myself, didn’t have to hide a single piece of me
‘Cause you took a chance and looked on the inside
I could have been the love of your life
If only you’d looked one more time
But maybe that was too obvious for you to see
Hay Springsteen?
Hey Springsteen
Did you forget about me?
Hey Springsteen
Is it so hard to believe, that out of those beautiful girls falling at your feet
That I could be the one for you?
‘Cause you really had ne going there for awhile
With your charm and swagger like a rockstar
Looks like anyone can be deceived
Hey Springsteen?
Hey Springsteen
I wrote this song for you
‘Cause one of us had to give some meaning
To what you put me through
Hey Springsteen
Did you forget about me?

Hey Springsteen?
Oh, it’s sad when the music is gone
And all you’re left with is silence
Buy, hey Springsteen, you should know this
I could have been the love of your life
