Not a word you said was true
You led me on with nothing I could prove
You were my one and only lover
Vodka, scotch and cigarettes
Three simple steps to help me to forget
Leave me alone
Let me recover
I only wanted you to notice
When I was not around
Idealism fools the brain
Idealism fools the brain
It was never meant to be
I cursed myself for wanting to believe
That life could never get much better
I close my eyes and see you there
Your golden hair, it brings me to despair
In my mind's eye, we are together
I only wanted you to know that
Sometimes I feel down
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today
I'll make it through, just not today
