It Won't Go Away... Written By, Marci Hanshue Copyright, 1996 |
She thought he was good for her He made a good impression How could love at first site Turn into a life-long love lesson? |
She learned it wasn't true The more you live the more you know But she thought the pain you live through Would eventually go But it won't go away, no, it won't go away If you never realize a mistake for it's own sake You can think happy thoughts at the end of the day But the truth lingers on, and it won't go away |
He was the strong silent type A man of few words He believed a good wife Was seen but not heard |
They had an understood pact Just by looking in her eyes Brought a hush to her lips No hint of compromise It told her to...lock all the doors, don't look in the mirror Turn the music up, to drown out all the tears When the cryin's stopped, go on with your day If you try to ignore it, it will go away |
Lies that are told to cover up the shame Don't do a thing, except cause more pain... Then they grew old together Hard feelings slowly died Time took its toll Along with the rage in his eyes There was one more bruise left From where they bumped in the hall She thanked goodness for it too Or she wouldn't feel him at all And it won't go away, no it won't go away A perpetual reminder of mistakes that were made She tries to think happy thoughts at the end of the day But the truth lingers on, and it won't go away Yes, the turth lingers on and on and on... And it won't go away... |
