I still change the station every time they play that song,
I still can’t drive past your house, so I take the long way home.
You don’t know how many times I’ve pulled in and thought about coming inside.
But I can’t bring myself to do that kind of damage to my heart.
When I go out, I don’t want to see you, but I can’t help but wonder where you are.
There doesn’t seem like there is anything else I can do.
I’ve told myself that it’s over, but I can’t seem to shake it off.
We had a love affair.
Time is taking its sweet time erasing you.
I’ve got my demons in my closet, and
Darling, they all look like you.
Don’t kiss me; I’m done even trying anymore.
Give up for the life of us, we can’t get this back.
It’s troubling, so sad.
I was smart to walk away, you’re like quicksand.
I’m trying, but baby, I just can’t shake you.
