Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

Lyrics

AGAIN
(Tonio K./John Keller/Barry Goldberg)

somebody cash me in
i never saw myself as a loser
but i've lost again
just let the end begin
i guess everybody loses here
nobody wins

i had refused to believe in this day
refused to give up on us
and i forgot this particular pain
but i remember it now
as i pick myself up

here it comes again
i remember this feeling
remember this feeling
here it comes again
when your heart is breakin'
and your body's achin' again

i would have changed the world
i would have done anything
to make up for the mistakes we made
but now the smoke cloud curls
up from the ashes and embers
of love that never found a place

she never could believe that i cared
she couldn't feel it or see it plain
and a diamond imperfect but rare
she held it up to the light
and threw it away

so here it comes again
i remember this feeling
remember this feeling
here it comes again
when your heart is bleedin'
and your mind is reelin' again

oh, i once heard somebody say
that love is all you need
well i believed it then
i still believe it now
but i don't know how it works
or exactly what that means

here it comes again
i remember this feeling...
