Rio Diamond - You Ain't In It lyrics

rate me

Some folks said I was getting' well

But through the tears I couldn't tell

I could not see past yesterday

Cause your memory stood there in my way

A lonely mind plays funny tricks

Works on things that can't be fixed

It's bound to dwell on what you miss

Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss

It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it

But I had to draw the line, a million tears

is a man's limit

No, I don't expect your memory to let me

Ever forget it

But once in a while I live through a minute

And you ain't in it

It didn't take a clock to alarm me

I was always up, I'd never sleep

Scared to death I'd dream of you

That's more'n I wanted to put my old heart through

A big dark cloud followed me around

Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned

Thought you took that sun with you

But today my curtain let a little peep slip through

It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it

But I had to draw the line, a million tears

is a man's limit

No, I don't expect your memory to let me

Ever forget it

But once in a while I live through a minute

And you ain't in it
