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
