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^Òre all put away in drawers

But the traces of our love affair

Still hide behind the doors

I lie awake, afraid to sleep

^ÑCause I^Òll see the face I knew I^Òd never keep

I^Òd 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^Òm 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^Òt fade away too soon

Too soon

Too much to bear

Too much, I fall down drunk

Too much I care
