She met his wishes
He found that he had changed his mind
Now the fit is too tight
And the bedroom too warm
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
The days are full of things to do
Night time lives so hollow
And memories betrayed
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
Two years have passed
Two years of emptiness inside
And the grey skies above
Show just how far I went wrong
*BRIDGE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wonder if she's living there
The way that I recall
The way I'll always think of you
*CHORUS*
SAME AS BEFORE
When I think of you
I think of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
They suffocate at night
Those memories of love
Loooovvvvvvvveeee
So sad to see
To see it slowly die
*VERSE*
SAME AS BEFORE
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I wrote you a letter
I threw it away
I need her
No, I don't need her
I need her
ohhhhhh
etc.
