Painful Memories

(album: Shaggs' Own Thing - 1982)

Here I am lying down in my bed
My pillow feels soft underneath my head
You're here in my thoughts, always on my mind
But still you've left me somewhere behind

I close my eyes and all I can see
Are the times you spent alone with me
I'll always cherish these sweet memories

The lights are down low
But still I can see
You here dancing so close to me

You're holding me tight
Never let go
But then I wake and my tears start to show

Please come back
Don't leave me behind
Can't you see I still want you to be mine?
Don't run away
It hurts all the more
The longer you stay away from my door

You're hurting me so
This pain, I just can't bear
Why don't you show me some love
And tell me that you care?

I close my eyes and all I can see
Are the times you spent alone with me
And you know
Even though it's painful
I'll always cherish these sweet memories
