253

I watched her smile Dissolve like Alka-Seltzer And in all honesty Man, I wish I could have helped her But the words I spoke Fell laden to the ground Hitting that carpet With a muffled clanging sound I remember sitting later on the 253 Trying not to cry but the cry's on me Sick to my stomach, feel so guilty But I can't change the fact that She had nothing that I needed So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line And mine And at first she was all that I could see Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems Faded like her favourite jeans I can't read her face It's in an unknown language I just hold her pretty hand 'Cause that's about all I can manage I wish you wouldn't look at me that way Knowing I'm a selfish bastard She'll be thanking me one day And maybe we can even part this disaster I remember sitting later on the 253 Trying not to cry but the cry's on me Sick to my stomach feeling so guilty But I can't change the fact that She had nothing that I needed So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line And mine And at first she was all that I could see Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems Faded like her favourite jeans No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No promises, no promises And this is the final curtain call As in and out of love we fall And it's too late to change that Also too late to explain that She had nothing that I needed So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line And mine And at first she was all that I could see Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems Faded like her favourite jeans She had nothing that I needed So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line And mine And at first she was all that I could see Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems Faded like her favourite jeans No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No promises, no promises No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No promises, no promises
