Lyrics
Haven?t thought about you / in a very long time
Haven?t thought about you / in a very very long time
Haven?t thought about you / in a very long time
Haven?t thought about you / in a very long time
My hands still shake /when I think about you
When I think about you / for a very long time
I still can?t imagine / why you?d do what you did
Why you?d do that to me and mine
Haven?t thought about you / in a very long time
How you changed my life from day to night
Now I think about you / but when the thinkin? is through
It?s time to move on and say goodbye -
They say that fear leaves a copper taste
Leaves a tell-tale trace inside your mouth
Let me tell you bout? fear / it don?t leave no taste
And anyway ? I spit it out
Haven?t thought about you / in a very long time
Haven?t thought about you in a very very long time
Haven?t thought about you / haven?t thought about you
How you changed my world from white to blue
Now I think about you / but when the thinkin is through
It?s time to move on and say good bye
