And Never Look Back

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…)
