Instant Replay

Don't wait for me...i'll be a long time comin'
Unless by then, you have told me something
To show how much you care
I've done much more than as a man i should have
Why did you...not do all you could have...to show
How much you care?

Over and again i've wondered was i wrong
Kept thinkin' that i maybe shoulda come along
But there comes a time in every man's life
When he must be strong
And my time's come
And if you're gone
Then i guess i'll cry and hold to memories
Of "what might have beens"
And when i finally leave
That will show how much i care.
(repeat)

There's a way
There's a way for you and i
If you'll just stay.
If you'll just stay to keep me hidden from the day,
And all its light,
That's covered up by night when you're away.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and i am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game.
Just a game that's played in fun
But not too real.
Not too real to take a chance on finding out
You've really lost.
I can't see you clearly while i'm here.
While i'm here and you are in my state of mind.
My state of mind is changing places all the time,
And i am lost
Trying to get across another time.
When you're away the image of your face is clear,
It is clear across the room and i am here,
Against the wall, afraid that it is all
Just a game
Just a game
Just a game.

They told me what you'd do
If i ever stayed with you.
They told me that you'd laugh
While i cried.

They told me what you'd say
That you'd turn and walk away
And find another place to play,
While i cried.

Now i think back on those times
I didn't read between the lines.
How all the things that you said
Never seemed to match the things you did.

Thoughts keep turning round in my mind
Now i see reason and rhyme.
Time spent with you has brought me something
And i've lost nothing if you are that kind.

They told me what you'd do
If i ever stayed with you
And sure enough,
It all came true.

About as low as i felt in a long time
And i know that i did a wrong at the wrong time
It's plain to see, she's down on me
And i know she'll feel that way for a long time

I was high on top but i didn't know it
Tell me, why did i have to go and blow it?
I used my lines too many times
And now i've got a badly hurt heart to show it

Took me too long to discover
How much i really love her
How'd i ever end up in this bind?
What a drag

There she goes looking for pretty clover
No one knows what it's like until it over
Without a doubt, i just found out
And i suppose i never did get to know her

Tear drop city, tear drop city

Took me to long to discover
How much i really love her
How'd i ever end up in this bind
What a drag

About as low as i felt in a long time...

Life is hard for me to touch now.
I just don't enjoy it as much now.
When she left, something inside of me died.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
By my side.

There's no end end to my sorrow.
I'm afraid to face tomorrow.
When she left, she took much more than my pride.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
By my side.

It isn't easy to forget her,
And the way it used to be.
She changed my life the day i met her.
And i won't be the same without her,
No i won't be the same without her
Close to me.

Repeat first verse.

You call my name then you run for protection
I reach out to hold ya' but it's just a reflection
Throught the looking glass

Now you've been looking at your life through a mirror
It's time you started seeing things a little bit clearer than
Through the looking glass

Watch me break through, girl
I still love you, girl


I think you love me by the way you come on girl
Then i turn away for a minute, you're gone girl
Through the looking glass

Ahh...

You're looking through me
Like you never knew me

I've got some things that i'm tryin' to show ya
But you fade away how can i get to know 'ya
Through the looking glass

Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, i just couldn't wait and hang around
You always said must be free
But you couldn't see you were loosing me
And messing up the one good thing we had

Chorus:
And now i'm going out the way that i came in
The game is over now, i couldn't win
My heart is all i have to pack
And this time girl i wont be back
And years from now i'll turn around and see
The girl i left behind me

I told myself that things would be ok
You would come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

Chorus

As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life

Chorus

Behind me...
