Some days she looks at me
And bears a smile that shines like light
Other days she looks away
Forgets I loved her at first sight.
I promised her I'd never leave
Unless she told me twice
And now she's told me three times
With that distant look in her eyes.
Beauty hurts and beauty maims
And memories never fade
I look out the window, watch the sky
Fill up and pour with rain
But I can't leave
She's stuck in mind
Some days she stays
And life passes by
And nothing stings worse
Than crawling back.
She told me that she'd never love
Someone as good as me
'Cause good men tore her heart apart
In these cold, dark city streets.
But pain can't last forever
And neither can father time
So take a chance or two or more
And life won't pass us by.
Beauty hurts and beauty maims
And memories never fade
I look out the window, watch the sky
Fill up and pour with rain
But I can't leave
She's stuck in mind
Some days she stays
And life passes by
And nothing stings worse
Than crawling back.
