and they say that nostalgia, is a seductive liar
and then again, there is no smoke without fire
I know that we should, never look to the past
because nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts
and i can't seem, to love the one I'm with
I'm all cried out, I've nothing more to give
and i have real trouble, in moving on
i know the past is past, what's gone is gone
there's something nagging at my mind
you know i don't mean to be unkind
but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe
and i hate myself, for still loving you
I still can't get you, off of my mind
on my heart you've stamped, and signed
a part of life of which, you were a phase
but it wasn't all bad, weren't there some good days?
the word is out, in the neighbourhood
that i can't love, that I'm damaged goods
I'm still waiting for time, to heal the scars
as we divide in two, everything that was ours
there's something nagging at my mind
you know i don't mean to be unkind
but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe
and i hate myself, for still loving you
it is perhaps time, to start something new
after all the pain, that we've gone through
I'm finding it hard, for the heart to let go
and we really do reap, everything that we sow
and wish i knew, what it was you seek
there were promises, that we couldn't keep
and now we shall never, grow old together
it's clear that your 'forever', was not forever
there's something nagging at my mind
you know i don't mean to be unkind
but you're like a pebble stuck in my shoe
and i hate myself, for still loving you
