This Charming Life
I find myself
 In times of trouble
 And all I can do is cry


 I find that all
 The cares surround me
 And all I can do 
 Is cry 


 Nothing you can do 
 Is ever gonna hurt like this
 Nothing you can say
 Is ever gonna hurt like this


 I can't forget the one
 Said I can't forget the one
 No I can't forget the one 
 I saw you holding 


 As your beautiful mouth kissed those pouting mouth
 I could tell that I was losing 


 My source of comfort is now fading
 And all I can do
 Is cry


 Nothing you can do 
 Is ever gonna hurt like this
 Nothing you can say
 Is ever gonna hurt like this


 And I can't forget the one
 I just can't forget the one
 Said I can't forget the one 
 No I can't forget the one 
 I saw you holding 


 Why just doesn't matter
 What I want to know is when


 When did you stop craving 
 For the nearness of me
 And my perfumed smell
 When I play with your hair
 And the feeling you get
 When I touch you


 The sun has set 
 Our love
 Is shaded
 And all I can do 
 Is cry


 Nothing you can do 
 Is ever gonna hurt like this
 Nothing you can say
 Is ever gonna hurt like this


 And I can't forget the one
 Said I can't forget the one
 No I can't forget the one 
 I saw you holding
