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
