"Remember We Were Lovers" lyrics
Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth Lyrics
Remember we were lovers?
It seems so long ago
Now love is just a memory
Old photographs will show
You never want to hold me
Or kiss me anymore
We may sleep together
But really we're alone
Do you stand like this
'Cause you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cause life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes?
Feeling like I've lost you
Where did we go wrong?
Tell myself I can't live without you
Am I really not that strong?
Am I a fool to still want you?
After all that we've been through
We're martyrs in a marriage
In a war we're gonna lose
Do you stand like this
'Cause you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cause life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes?
We're stupid and ungrateful
We'll never ever learn
We abuse this gift we've been given
Again and again and again and again and again...
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
It seems so long ago
Now love is just a memory
Old photographs will show
You never want to hold me
Or kiss me anymore
We may sleep together
But really we're alone
Do you stand like this
'Cause you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cause life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes?
Feeling like I've lost you
Where did we go wrong?
Tell myself I can't live without you
Am I really not that strong?
Am I a fool to still want you?
After all that we've been through
We're martyrs in a marriage
In a war we're gonna lose
Do you stand like this
'Cause you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cause life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes?
We're stupid and ungrateful
We'll never ever learn
We abuse this gift we've been given
Again and again and again and again and again...
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
Remember we were lovers?
