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
