You Ain't In It

Some folks said I was getting well
But through the tears I couldn't tell
I could not see past yesterday
'Cause your memory stood there in my way

A lonely mind plays funny tricks
Works on things that can't be fixed
It's bound to dwell on what you miss
Like a midnight touch or a morning kiss

It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it
But I had to draw the line, the million tears is some man's limit
No, I don't expect your memory to let me ever forget it
Ah, once in a while I live through a minute and you ain't in it

It didn't take a clock to alarm me

I was always up, I'd never sleep
Scared to death, I'd dream of you
That's more and wanna put my old heart through

A big dark cloud followed me around
Didn't dare look up or I'd have drowned
Thought you took that sun with you
But today my curtain let a little peep slip through

It's still hard to face a day if you ain't in it
But I had to draw the line, the million tears is some man's limit
No, I don't expect your memory to let me ever forget it
Ah, once in a while I live through a minute and you ain't in it

No, I don't expect your memory to let me ever forget it
Ah, once in a while I live through a minute and you ain't in it
No, you ain't in it
