Lyrics
Common Sense
Verse 1
She left me with a photograph and note by the door.
Said you?re a good friend to me
I want nothing more
Things got complicated, I waited way too long
Write to me this summer
Write to while I?m gone.
Chorus:
Common sense waved goodbye to me
Wisdom left me in the past
I sat down try to reason out
Why something?s they don?t last
Verse 2
Week or two later
Thought I saw you in a passing car
Tell me why my regrets should run so deep, should run so far
Borders obsession, the blame is not all mine
You led me on
Can?t I just close my eyes and will this bitter memory gone
Chorus
They don?t last, No
And the time goes by
Still I hold on why?
