Song Description

It is always better to tell someone you love them before it is too late because love and lovers just slip right through your fingers like water

Lyrics

Right through my fingers
© 2006 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)

I got no sympathy if you're feeling lonely
I tried to love you a long time ago
I gave my body, heart and my tomorrow
But you said no

Sure: I had a lover, now and then
But every time I only wanted you
In the mirror - your reflection
Oh, how I needed you

Chorus
But if you're sitting all alone playing solitaire
I don't care - I really don't care
Because when I tried to love you - you said no -
You turned around - you walked out that door

Tables turning yeah - now you're sad and lonely
And you're calling my number late at night
Tearful messages asking for forgiveness
But this isn't right - oh, it just isn't right

You even called and said you were sorry
Baby - I am feeling sorry too
But apologies are cheap just like those promises
You always made - and couldn't keep

Chorus
So, if you're sitting by that phone playing solitaire
And waiting for me to call you there -
You got to know - you got to know
I don't care - Oh, I just don't care

I got a thousand complicated reasons
If you ever show up at my door
My past with you is such a bitter pill to swallow -
I guess I don't love you - anymore -

Winter is such a cold season
But I saw your foot prints in the snow
You must have come / you must have come when I was sleeping -
I guess I'll never know

I saw you looking over your shoulder
Distance growing with every step you took
A little colder, sure - a little older
Right through my fingers
Right through my fingers
Right through my fingers
Our love slipped away
