Dustin Schmidt - The Ballad of a Hermit pt. 2 lyrics

Here's a great song I discovered while browsing Last.fm:

Dustin Schmidt - The Ballad of a Hermit pt. 2

And here are the lyrics (I found them nowhere else while briefly using Google, so I decided to write them down myself):

I watched you from far away

With a sideways twisted grin
I heard your name behind your back
I never did give in
I got the key to your heart
I just don't have the nerve
These clouds they form around my brain
The clouds that never were

Love is blind and so is hate but you look fine to me
I held your name in the air so everyone could see
Your beauty could not be the home of an ugly heart
You've never even seen me and we've never been apart

And all...
All is fair
I'm the one that was never there
All...
All is fair
I'm the one that could never care

A silent wall of silent bricks stands strong around my soul
Higher than a raging cloud you peer through a hole
I could take you by the hand or take another hit
I just can't take this smoke and I wish that you would quit

And all...
All is fair
I'm the one that was never there
All...
All is fair
I'm the one that could never care

I could go my way
You could go yours
You met me sick and rich
You left me well and poor

And I'll never forget us in the field
With grass all in our clothes
I'll meet you again in a dream somewhere
Upon a midnight doze

And all...
All is fair
I'm the one that could never care
All...
All is fair
I'm the one that was never there

I saw you through a keyhole on the seventh floor
I pushed my hat back and wiped my eyes as you opened up the door
You held your breath and hoped I wouldnt see your new tattoo
You think you know me
You haven't got a clue

All is fair
I'm the one that was never there
All is fair
I'm the one that could never care

If you notice any mistakes, be sure to let me know (I wrote them down in quite a rush). Thanks and... enjoy!
