Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
So soon just after you've gone My senses sharpen But it always takes so damn long Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened Fear hangs in a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory On the table, signs of love lies scattered And the walls break, with a crashing within It's not as though, as though you really mattered But being close, how could I let you go Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following Fear hangs in a plane of gun smoke Drifting in our room So easy to disturb with a thought, with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, with a careless memory I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day But the whole place just screams in my eyes Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you I know I'd cry, what am I supposed to do, follow you Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now I just try to forget you So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper With a careless memory, with a careless memory With a careless memory, look out With a careless memory With a careless memory Look out Look out Look out Look out
