Verse 1
Things fall apart, and time breaks your heartI wasn't there, but I knowShe was your girl, you showed her the worldBut fell out of love and you both let goPre-Chorus
She was cryin’ on my shoulder, all I could do was hold herOnly made us closer until JulyNow, I know that you love me, you don't need to remind meI should put it all behind me, shouldn't I?Chorus
But I see her in the back of my mind all the timeLike a fever, like I’m burning alive, like a signDid I cross the line?Post-Chorus
(Mm) HmmVerse 2
Well, good things don't last (Good things don't last)And life moves so fast (Life moves so fast)I'd never ask who was better (I'd never ask who was better)'Cause she couldn't be (Couldn't)More different from me (Different)Happy and free in leather (Happy in leather)Pre-Chorus
And I know that you love me (You love me)You don’t need to remind me (Remind me)Wanna put it all behind me, but babyChorus
I see her in the back of my mind (Back of my mind) all the time (All the time)Feels like a fever (Like a fever), like I’m burning alive (Burning alive), like a signDid I cross the line?Bridge
You say no one knows you so well (Oh)But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she feltValentine's Day, cryin’ in the hotelI know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myselfChorus
And I wonderDo you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes?Outro
You say no one knows you so wellBut every time you touch me, I just wonder how she feltValentine's Day, cryin' in the hotelI know you didn’t mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myselfWhat the song means
