| [00:59.76] |
I can't pretend that all is well |
| [01:01.68] |
it's like I'm haunted by a ghost |
| [01:03.84] |
There are times I cannot speak your name for the catchin' in my throat, |
| [01:07.98] |
There are things I will not sing for the sting of sour notes. |
| [01:15.92] |
I feel like a miser, I feel low and mean |
| [01:20.01] |
For accusing you of stealin' what I offered you for free. |
| [01:23.79] |
Oh it beggars the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be. |
| [01:32.04] |
I don't know who you're with these days, might be with someone new |
| [01:35.73] |
And if you are, I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do. |
| [01:40.01] |
But whoever makes you happy, it don't really matter who |
| [01:43.64][02:47.65] |
I've got a new lover now, I hope you've got a lover too. |
| [02:03.26] |
Praise the water under bridges, the time they say will heal |
| [02:07.85] |
Praise the fonder, that still grows on the absent heart and fields |
| [02:11.88] |
Praise be to this pain, these days it's all I seem to feel. |
| [02:20.15] |
Perhaps the fault was mine |
| [02:22.05] |
Perhaps I just ignored who you're always gonna be, |
| [02:25.71] |
Instead of who I took you for. |
| [02:27.84] |
I've been treated worse it's true, still I expected more. |
| [02:35.98] |
But I will not chase your shadow as you go from room to room, |
| [02:39.87] |
Droppin' handkerchiefs and daggers, smokin' guns and other clues |
| [02:43.73] |
For what someone did with someone and who did what to who. |
| [03:07.15] |
I've got a new lover now, I know that she's not mine, |
| [03:11.80] |
I only want to hold her, I don't need to read her mind, |
| [03:15.63] |
And she only looks like you when she's in a certain light. |
| [03:23.48] |
I got a new lover now, she knows just what I need. |
| [03:27.57] |
When I wake up in the night, she can read me back my dreams, |
| [03:31.64] |
And she loves them, though she never needs to tell me what they mean. |
| [03:40.27] |
I hope you've got a lover now, hope you've got somebody who |
| [03:43.74] |
Can give you what you need like I couldn't seem to do. |
| [03:47.87] |
But if you're sad and you are lonesome and you've got nobody true, |
| [03:51.98] |
I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me happy too. |
