every time he goes, she dies
every time she comes, she cries
he was her long, bright future
in the middle of a wrong, dark road
he loved her, but he wasnt too sure
if he could return the love she showed
when she said, my love extends
beyond the realm of being friends
he kissed her head
and quietly he said
chorus
its not that youre not beautiful, youre just not beautiful to me
she said, how beautiful do i have to be?
when i look in the mirror, youre the only thing i see,
and i have loved you beautifully
well, ten thousand tears passed by
but she never let him see her cry
and he called up down one night
he said, lets get in the car and just drive
he talked a lot about loneliness
but why, she didnt know
and some song about memphis
was playin on the radio
she said, lets stop the car and slow dance,
wont you just give me a chance?
he took her hand
and hoped shed understand
chorus
well, shell burn that bridge
and build a house
and swallow the smoke in her mouth
shell feel the burn
and then make the choice
to put the fire in her voice
chorus
