You've been a part of my life for so very long
|
It's hard for me to believe sometimes that you're really gone
|
I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place
|
Hoping no one could tell by the look on my face
|
That you're still in my heart, always on my mind
|
Part of my everyday
|
Like just last night I went out for a bite
|
I tried to have fun with all of my might
|
But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break
|
'Cause right in the middle of my strawberry shake
|
Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends
|
And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like
|
Where's she been?"
|
|
And it, struck a nerve
|
And it, hit a vein
|
You'd think from all the tears I cried
|
And this broken-hearted pain
|
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
|
But it seems like everywhere I go
|
Somebody wants to know where you've been
|
Are you comin' back again, I swear
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
|
So I left all alone, just headed back home
|
As I listened to the messages on my telephone
|
There was one from my sister
|
And one from an old friend
|
He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but
|
You weren't in
|
Just checkin' up on you boy, I hope you're doin' alright
|
Oh by the way man, I seen her last night
|
|
And it, struck a nerve
|
And it, hit a vein
|
You'd think from all the tears I cried
|
And this broken-hearted pain
|
I wouldn't have to carry you around with me
|
But it seems like everywhere I go
|
Somebody wants to know where you've been
|
Are you comin' back again, I swear
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
|
I swear, I can't take you
|
Just can't take you
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
I can't take you anywhere
|
