WELL I KNOW IT WAS ME WHO SAID
SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT COME ALONG,
AND I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YOU BABY,
SINGIN' NO SAD SONG.
WELL I THOUGHT IF I NEEDED YOU,
IT WAS ONLY FOR A WHILE,
I WAS SURE THAT I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU
CRAMPIN' UP MY STYLE,
AND WHEN YOU WERE GONE,
I TOLD MYSELF THE PAIN WOULD PASS,
WELL THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN HELL
THAT THIS COULD LAST, BUT,
THERE'S YOUR GHOST AGAIN, COMIN' ON TO ME.
YOU'RE MAKIN' EYES AT ME, AND I CAN'T BARE TO SEE,
ALL THOSE MEMORIES OF EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE,
FROM THE WAY THAT YOU KEEP HAUNTING ME,
I'D NEVER KNOW YOU'RE GONE.
WELL I KNOW WHEN YOU WALKED AWAY
THAT YOU MEANT TO LEAVE FOR GOOD,
AND I WAS NEVER ONE TO CARRY ON,
THE WAY YOU THOUGHT I SHOULD.
WELL I SMILED AND SAID GOODBYE,
AND I GUESS I PLAYED THE FOOL,
'CAUSE I NEVER TOLD YOU WOMAN
HOW I REALLY FELT FOR YOU.
AND WHEN YOU WERE GONE
I TOLD MYSELF THE PAIN WOULD PASS,
WELL THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN HELL
THAT THIS COULD LAST, BUT,
THERE'S YOUR GHOST AGAIN, COMIN' ON TO ME,
YOU'RE MAKIN' EYES AT ME, AND I CAN'T BARE TO SEE,
ALL THOSE MEMEORIES OF EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE,
FROM THE WAY THAT YOU KEEP HAUNTING ME,
I'D NEVER KNOW YOU'RE GONE.
