My man go, my man come,
Shake my love, leave me numb,
Just enough to carry on.
I knew him once, so I thought
And what was then, now is not,
All the love is dead and gone.
Oh, where did I go wrong?
But in the ruins of my mind
I can still pretend.
Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.
My man breathe, my man eat,
I wake up and watch him sleep.
Where went all those lovely days?
He always said he′d never make
The same mistakes his father made.
I guess some things you can't escape
But I hope it′s not too late.
But in the ruins of my mind
I can still pretend.
Close my eyes, see my life as it could have been.
