So every day I see you in some other face 
They crack a smile, talk a while 
Try to take your place 
My memory serves me far too well 

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself 
You're a fool boy 
Why don't you go down 
Find somebody 
Find somebody else 
My memory serves me far too well 

It's not as though we just broke up 
It's not as though it was yesterday 
But something I just can't explain 
Something in me needs this pain 
I know I'll never see your face again 

C'mon now 
I've got to be strong now 

Now everybody's talking about this new decade 
Like you say the magic numbers 
Then just say goodbye to 
The stupid mistakes you made 
Oh my memory serves me far too well 

Don't you know that 
The years [bad word] and go 
Some of us will change our lives 
Some of us still have nothing to show 
Nothing baby 
But memories 

And if these wounds 
They are self-inflicted 
I don't really know 
How my poor heart could have protected me 
But if I have to carry this pain 
If you will not share the blame 
I deserve to see your face again 

C'mon now 
You don't have to be so strong now [bad word] back  [bad word] back to me darling 
I will make it worth your while [bad word] back to your baby 
I miss your kiss 
I miss your smile 
Seems to me the peace I search to find 
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will 
Don't you keep me waiting for that day 
I know, I know, I know 
You hear these words that I say 

You can't always get what you want
