Lyrics
I was your dog, and I ran to you, each time you called my name, I pressed my nose against your skin, and tried my best to drink you in, keep a part of you for always.
All that's left is one last photograph, one last remembrance of my old flame, I don't why I can't just give it up, some nights in spite of myself, I call your name.
Love is a line in a musical, it sets the stage ablaze, it comes with passion and romance, the hero sings the lovers dance, then fate steps in and steals the love away.
All that's left is one last photograph, one last remembrance of my old flame, I don't why I can't just give it up, some nights in spite of myself, I call your name.
When I found out you were moving on, it brought me to my knees, I gathered all the poems you wrote, I watched as they went up in smoke, but I can't burn away the memories
All that's left is one last photograph, one last remembrance of my old flame, I don't why I can't just give it up, some nights in spite of myself, I call your name, some nights in spite of myself, I call your name, some nights in spite of myself...
