Refreshments - Love in vain Lyrics

Don´t bring up the past it cuts like a knife
The days that we had was the time of my life
But i never let it show and you don´t really wanna know

So don´t ask no questions and i´ll tell no lies
About how i´ve been and why those tired eyes
Can no longer hide the secrets in my mind

Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of runnin´
Feelin´s still grow
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
It´s sad but it´ s all ´bout a man in pain
And a love in vain

Sometimes you´re gone for months or a year
But then again from outa nowhere
Maybe in the still of the night
Next time at a traffic light

Yeah i never know when the hurt is gonna come
I only know it´s just a matter of time
Before memories are comin´ ´ round
And i´m back on shaky ground

Solo

Now the sky ain´t that blue and the sun don´t shine so bright
Since your leavin´ has changed my livin´
Nowadays my old face ain´t no pleasent sight

I´ve been to places done all kinds of things
To whip out the traces and to break the strings
But all through the years i´ve lied
And i´m still cryin´ inside

Oh oh why oh why won´t it let go after a lifetime of runnin´
Feelin´s still grow
What a waste of love all gone down the drain
Now i´m tellin´ you my life story
It´s sad but it´s all ´bout a man in pain
And a love in vain
