Lyrics
VERSE:
I can't turn back the clock
Rebuild all the blocks
Or sweep what she said away
Under some rock
To deal with another day
The pain won't go and I can't stay
CHORUS:
But will my arms not ache?
Will my hands not shake?
When she calls
When she cries
When she holds my hand
And tries
To recall better times?
Will my heart not break?
Will my feet not take
The easy road, the shortest line
To memories of better times
VERSE:
She'll figure it out
When she's riddled with doubts Some cold distance away
How to hold on to love
When it comes her way
The pain won't go and I can't stay
REPEAT CHORUS
LIFT:
Once is once too many
She says it didn't mean any
Thing but she should have known
Trust is a corner stone
And no amount of tears
No amount of tears
Can recall what's gone
Rewrite a wrong
Make the pain disappear
The poet said it right
The moving finger writes
And moves on
