You were the only face I'd ever known. I was the light from the lamp on the floor, And only as bright as you wanted me to be. But, I am no gentleman, I can be a prick, And I do regret more than I admit. You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink. Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist. Everything we had, everything we had, Everything we had, everything we had is no longer there. It was the only place I'd never known. Turned off the light on my way out the door. I will be watching wherever you go, Through the eyes of a fly on the wall. You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink. Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist. Everything we had, everything we had, Everything we had, everything we had is no longer there, longer there. You saw for yourself, the way it played out. For you, I am blinded. For you, I am blinded, for you. I am no gentleman, I can be a prick. And I do regret more than I admit. You have been followed back to the same place I sat with you drink for drink. Take the pain out of love and then love won't exists. Everything we had, everything we had, Everything we had, everything we had. Everything we had, everything we had, Everything we had I'll be with you wherever you go, Through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
