Girl of Mine
Where did we go wrong
You never once said you loved me
And you never once called my name
And now I, I can see the way
My memories like cigarettes
Blow smoke upon the screen
I stare up to the empty face
That hangs inside my dreams
In the words of love I hesitate
They all come rushing into me too late, too late
Days and nights
Wondering what could it be
Did you need somebody stronger
Someone to see you through, oh girl
I never knew
Now your lipstick and your powder
They^?re all put away in drawers
But the traces of our love affair
Still hide behind the doors
I lie awake, afraid to sleep
^?Cause I^?ll see the face I knew I^?d never keep
I^?d never keep
Too much to bear
Too much, I fall down drunk
Too much I care
(Solo same as verses)
Tell me now
Do the words of love still seem the same to you
Now we learned the angry lesson
And we still come back for more
Forget somehow, what came before
My senses have been shocked
And I^?m alive to every pain
Your quiet laughter comes to me
It echoes in the rain
In the darkness of my lonely room
I pray that you won^?t fade away too soon
Too soon
Too much to bear
Too much, I fall down drunk
Too much I care
