Benjamin Orr - The Lace lyrics

Just walking through the city Some need to sort things out I don't need to know the pity I'm feeling for us now We walked right back together Back when I hardly knew Why do the strangest things Bring back those times with you? Just when we're getting closer I'm seeing something new Just soaking up the city Drifting the days away, yeah Searching through crowds of people The face that got away We've talked good times together Put all my dreams on you You let me down somehow And now I see where to Turns out my best just Wasn't good enough for you You couldn't recognize A loss in the world I want to lose yourself You couldn't feel at all Everything just ends up so sad Too bad I gave it what I had Just walking through the city Drifting the days away, yeah Searching through crowds of people The lace that got away You're telling me it's nothing When I don't watch, you stare How could I get to you When you were never there? We walked right back together Back when I hardly knew Why do the strangest things Bring back those times with you? Just when we're getting closer I'm seeing something new You couldn't recognize A loss in the world So sad
