"The Face" lyrics

Kate came by on her own last night
She had something she wanted to say
She sat there trying to find the words
While I tried to look the other way

She only stayed a little while
Had somewhere else to be
She always had a bigger life than me

That's the face that I still remember
That's the face that I'll never forget
That's the scene that I've played a thousand times
Running round my head

I can't pretend that the story's over
I can't believe that we're gonna move on
Cause I've heard that line a thousand times
But nothing fills the space
When she's gone

The spotlight stare and I'm right back there
It's like the cards don't want me to change
The same part of my heart keeps skipping
Like someone pulled my chair away

We only had a little while
It felt like we were free
But she always had a bigger plan than me

That's the face that I still remember
That's the face that I'll never forget
That's the scene that I've played a thousand times
Running round my head

I can't pretend that the story's over
I can't believe that we're gonna move on
Cause I've heard that line a thousand times
But nothing fills the space
When she's gone
