When the picture tells it all
There's no need for trying or pretending
You whip your suitcase in the hall
It's not a time for lying, no more crying
I gave her heart that I may never see, return to me

[Chorus]
Hold me, like you used to do before
Let me wrap my arms around you baby
You told me that you'd never leave no more
So I wrap my life around you

Before the pleasure turns to shame
It's a time for leaving not deceiving
And, though a promise has been made,
I would never hold you from what you need to do
You keep the years but the moments I'll keep near forever dear.

[Chorus]

I gave her heart that I may never see return to me

[Chorus]

The passage of years
My song you might hear
In some caught-up and lonely cafe
And wonder could it ever be..
That good again?
Guess we'll never know (We'll never know)

[Chorus: x2]
