So every day I see you in some other face
|
They crack a smile, talk a while
|
Try to take your place
|
My memory serves me far too well
|
|
I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
|
You're a fool boy
|
Why don't you go down
|
Find somebody
|
Find somebody else
|
My memory serves me far too well
|
|
It's not as though we just broke up
|
It's not as though it was yesterday
|
But something I just can't explain
|
Something in me needs this pain
|
I know I'll never see your face again
|
|
C'mon now
|
I've got to be strong now
|
|
Now everybody's talking about this new decade
|
Like you say the magic numbers
|
Then just say goodbye to
|
The stupid mistakes you made
|
Oh my memory serves me far too well
|
|
Don't you know that
|
The years will come and go
|
Some of us will change our lives
|
Some of us still have nothing to show
|
Nothing baby
|
But memories
|
|
And if these wounds
|
They are self-inflicted
|
I don't really know
|
How my poor heart could have protected me
|
But if I have to carry this pain
|
If you will not share the blame
|
I deserve to see your face again
|
|
C'mon now
|
You don't have to be so strong now
|
Come back
|
|
Come back to me darling
|
I will make it worth your while
|
Come back to your baby
|
I miss your kiss
|
I miss your smile
|
Seems to me the peace I search to find
|
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
|
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
|
I know, I know, I know
|
You hear these words that I say
|
|
You can't always get what you want
|
