People and cars on the avenue
But I can't hear a thing "˜cause I'm looking for you
I've been haunted,
By all that I can't have.
I should make a list of everything I missed
Everything that fell, brushed my fingertips
I'm shattered,
Gone is the wait and see.
Now, love, say good-bye to all that.
Lower my head, turn away,
And never look back.
A quitter never quits he just changes his mind
This song I sing is true and sublime
It comforts me,
But it won't pay the rent.
I lean in far to give her a kiss
I spill her drink, I burn her wrist
With my cigarette,
I'm clumsy when I get close.
Now, love, say good-bye to all that.
Lower my head, turn away,
And never look back.
I wanted it all, but I'll settle for some
At the end of the day it don't matter what you've won
Come the end of days,
All you get is the truth.
On needles and pins, the story begins
The world outside, the house lights dimmed
Well anyway,
What else can a poor boy do?
Now, love, say good-bye to all that.
Lower my head, turn away,
And never"¦
Now, love, say good-bye to all that.
Lower my head, turn away
And never look back.
(do do, do-do do"¦)
