To remember or to forget it
Could you ever laugh out loud while you cry
It will own you & you can't let it

While it holds you you can't even try
You're so unsatisfied
There's no more tears to cry
You ain't got nothin'
No you ain't got nothin' to prove


Got a secret & how you dread it
I should have known
By the lonely look in your eye

Made a promise & never kept it
You didn't even tell me good-bye
You're so damn petrified

In december i got your letter
& by the springtime
They let me know you were gone

If i only loved you better
I'd see you smile again
But what's done is done

Just a little heartache
Just a little hole
Just an itchy finger
& nobody knows
Just a little heartache

Somethin' for the soul
Fingers on the trigger
& nobody knows
What she knows
