No Cure

I hear the backdoor slamming but I pretend I don’t
Maybe I’ll try to catch him but chances are I won’t
And with the scent of another lingering on your skin
Your lips keep lying but your eyes say where you’ve been
Time can mend broken hearts
Some say that’s true
What for the selfish ones
For them there’s no cure
We used to walk so sweetly down by the old canal
Where you held me close and told me how you felt
But temptation’s fire burns deep within your soul
Now your wandering eyes ain’t satisfied no more
Time can mend broken hearts
Some say that’s true
What for the selfish ones
For them there’s no cure
That old eastbound train will leave today on time
And in the manifest your name resides
And though tears may fall and hands may wave goodbye
Another fool is waiting for you when you arrive
Time can mend broken hearts
Some say that’s true
What for the selfish ones
For them there’s no cure
