Lyrics
Fossils and Shells
All alone in the dark they sat
Near the fountain where they used to dream and pretend
He wanted no more of her and he was sayin goodbye
She hung her head and cried
CHORUS:
You have your life, it starts shiny and new
But I carry on with these fossils of you
Traces of the past, shells shattered like glass
You have your life, but mine's through? without you
There was no need for an alibi
So she walked to her car
She can't cope with the pain so she searches in vain
For a bandage to cover the scar
CHORUS:
You have your life it starts shiny and new
But I carry on with these fossils of you
Traces of the past, shells shattered like glass
You have your life, but mine's through? without you
BRIDGE:
Time chips away at the memory
But she remembers when
He left a diamond on her hand one day
And then asked for it back again
CHORUS:
You have your life, it starts shiny and new
And I carry on with these fossils of you
Traces of the past, shells shattered like glass
You have your life, I?ll get through? without you.
Without you....
Without you....
Without you...
