He has a picture of her underneath the poster So he knows that she is there Even though she is not And the tapes were a way to her heart Shes something he can hold on to Something good and hopeful. I'll never get to kiss her fingers I'll never get to hold her coat I'll never get to turn the light off Or sleep with her even And she makes up friends in literature She lived in france and scotland And she paints herself A picture of what he'd look like now Her cigarrettes, her cold, cold hands, and a short dark hair And she still loves you, dont you know? No you never did know. She thinks that it would be better To see him through his letters The music that he makes her She knows its all about her. And you You can hide you love forever You can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever You can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever You can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever I think that it is better To say oh how i loved her Something good and strong You can hold on forever And one more time in the night I could remember your face One more time in the night I could remember your face And you You can hide, you can hide your love forever, You can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever, You can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever
