Pain has no memory
That's a well known fact
If it did we wouldn't waste precious time
Looking back
And I never seem to know
But she's learning fast
What it's like to be holding a fool
Who loves in the past
And when she asks me what it is I see in her
I say the things she needs me to
I say I love the way she holds me in her heart
That part is true
But what I see in her in you
Maybe there'll come a day
I won't need to compare
And I'll look in her questioning eyes
And you won't be there
And when she asks me what it is I see in her
I say whatever gets me through
And I go right on defending
What I know inside my soul
Just isn't true
'Cause what I see in her in you
Holding on
I'm holding on to dreams that lift me
I know you're gone
I know gone but you're always with me
And when she asks me what it is I see in her, oh, oh
I say the things I always do
I say the same old things
I tell the lies I know
I'd just as soon prefer were true
God knows I do
But what I see in her in you
What I see in her is you
And what I love in her is you
