*VERSE* SAME AS BEFORE 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.
