Suddenly the walls around you crumble

And all of your defences start to fail

Someone that you thought was just a memory

Come back to remind you that you failed

Someone to remind you what a fool you used to be

Someone that you're always thinking of

Why does you're heart beat a little faster?

When you see somebody that you used to love



Well love is not the gentlest of obsessions

Not too many get the chance to know

You get to count yourself among the lucky

You have felt the fire and the cold

You swear you're going to watch yourself

The next time

One day when you've finally had enough

But all your resolutions get so shaky

When you see somebody that you used to love



Well if you had a nickel for each moment

That love has kept you staring at the ground

Between the wide Atlantic and Pacific

You would be the richest fool around

You can see the old wound

Hidden underneath the scars

Like you know a hand is hid

Beneath a glove

It still gives you away

When your fever starts to raise

When you see somebody

That you used to love

When you see somebody

That you used to love
