You Covered Me
Pierce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go (I have to go, this time I have to go)
(This time I go)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go (I have to go, this time I have to go)
(This time I go)
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (a-ha)
We just have to face it
This time we're through
(This time we're through, we're really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go (I have to go, this time I have to go)
(This time I go)




Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
