Lyrics

Intro

verse 1
Can?t forget her
She?s everywhere you look
Still together
On photos that you took
A lipstick note that says:
?I?ll be missing you?

pre-chorus 1
Oh, why did she leave
From your place to the airport
I believe
You are not to blame
It?s a crying shame

chorus 1
I?ve been right before
Once again
I refuse to be ignored
I tell you my friend although
You may not be sure
Don?t be so hard on yourself

verse 2
Should have noticed
The changes that she made
Her remoteness
The distance she displayed
Nothing you can do now
How can this be true?

pre-chorus 2
Oh, why did she leave
From your place to the airport
I believe
You are not to blame
It?s a crying shame

chorus 2
I?ve been right before
Once again
I refuse to be ignored
I tell you my friend although
You may not be sure
Don?t be so hard on yourself

middle eight
I believe
You could not foresee all this
I believe
You don?t need the guilt
Don?t let it in

solo
