Ben Folds - Sentimental Guy Lyrics
There's a moment in my mind
I scribbled and erased a thousand times
Like a letter never written or sent
These conversations with the dead
I used to be a sentimental guy
I never thought so much could change
Little things you said or did
are part of me, come out from time to time
Probably no one I know now would notice
But I never thought so much could change
You drifted far away
Time has stopped, the clock keeps going
People talkin' and I'm watching
As flashes of their faces go black and white
And fade to yellow in a box in an attic
But I never thought so much
Could change, now I don't miss anyone
I don't miss anything
What a shame cause I used to be a sentimental guy

Ben Folds Sentimental Guy Comments
Ju know who it is.
Hey you with the former blue hair. I like you.
Reminds me when I used to watch mr.Bean for some reason.
I totally relate to this melancholy
I love the irony of him being sentimental about being sentimental.
I've never considered that before. It's beautiful
SocialistSteveO Yes, that’s the point of the song
LOVE his Soft side... what a TALENT...!!!!
Song's been stuck in my head all evening for some reason... I mean, I hadn't heard it lately or anything. I couldn't even remember the name of it until I combed through Ben's YouTube catalog.
The guy's fucking brilliant. What more can be said?
whats up with this having so little views! =/ Ben folds inspired me to work on piano harder. i started learning his songs at 15 im 22 now. i owe my band to him i owe getting through hard times to this album its so damn serious you can't deny it. whatever stage of life or mood he was in, i hope he gets back to it for real
To be fair most of the songs on this album aren't exactly happy, so saying you hope he gets back to being that way is basically saying you want him to be unhappy lol
This is def me for sure! Use to be a sentimental guy.....
I'm Gonna Cry!
Almost scary, how I relate. But how does Ben Folds know these things? He's so much younger that I.
Diane T It's because it was written in a time when humans took pictures with old things called cameras. Look at this old photo taken through a mirror with a camera. That was probably taken in the '50's. Today we use telephones to capture all of our treasured memories --- they don't end up forgotten in some musty old attic, as Ben Folds sings in this song --- now these Photographs end up on the World Wide Web, where all our loved ones can see them forever and evermore, and the HR department can eliminate us as candidates because of how lewd we are. I like the present, and love this song, but I'm not a Sentimental Guy anymore. I used to be a sentimental guy.
Is this a joke?
Love this song so much!!
