--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And it started again And I meant every word

And I liked what I said

And I liked what I heard

And I started to think

I could think about starting again



We were laughing again

Over memories and wine

And the years in between

Didn't seem a long time

When I smiled she knew why

In a while it was starting again



And I started to think I could feel again

All the bad times seemed unreal

When I looked in her eyes

The cheating, the lies,

The things that were wrong seemed far behind



And I started to think I could care again

And my fears all disappeared

When she called me by name

I knew that she'd changed

The flaws were all gone

The Saint remained



But it started again when I asked her to stay

And she said, "There's this friend who's in town just today"

And she really felt bad, but she had to be leaving again



And she left me again as she'd left me before

Still pretending she cared when we kissed at the door

But I saw in her eyes that the lies were all starting again



Just when I started to feel again

When all the bad times seemed unreal

When it all seemed so right and I thought that tonight

If she said she cared, she really might



Just when my fears disappeared again

And I heard what I wanted to hear

It all started again

And I knew what that meant

It wasn't the start

It was really the end
