[00:59.760] I can't pretend that all is well
[01:01.680] it's like I'm haunted by a ghost
[01:03.840] There are times I cannot speak your name for the catchin' in my throat,
[01:07.980] There are things I will not sing for the sting of sour notes.
[01:15.920] I feel like a miser, I feel low and mean
[01:20.010] For accusing you of stealin' what I offered you for free.
[01:23.790] Oh it beggars the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be.
[01:32.040] I don't know who you're with these days, might be with someone new
[01:35.730] And if you are, I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do.
[01:40.010] But whoever makes you happy, it don't really matter who
[02:47.650] I've got a new lover now, I hope you've got a lover too.
[02:03.260] Praise the water under bridges, the time they say will heal
[02:07.850] Praise the fonder, that still grows on the absent heart and fields
[02:11.880] Praise be to this pain, these days it's all I seem to feel.
[02:20.150] Perhaps the fault was mine
[02:22.050] Perhaps I just ignored who you're always gonna be,
[02:25.710] Instead of who I took you for.
[02:27.840] I've been treated worse it's true, still I expected more.
[02:35.980] But I will not chase your shadow as you go from room to room,
[02:39.870] Droppin' handkerchiefs and daggers, smokin' guns and other clues
[02:43.730] For what someone did with someone and who did what to who.
[03:07.150] I've got a new lover now, I know that she's not mine,
[03:11.800] I only want to hold her, I don't need to read her mind,
[03:15.630] And she only looks like you when she's in a certain light.
[03:23.480] I got a new lover now, she knows just what I need.
[03:27.570] When I wake up in the night, she can read me back my dreams,
[03:31.640] And she loves them, though she never needs to tell me what they mean.
[03:40.270] I hope you've got a lover now, hope you've got somebody who
[03:43.740] Can give you what you need like I couldn't seem to do.
[03:47.870] But if you're sad and you are lonesome and you've got nobody true,
[03:51.980] I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me happy too.
