about

An early Finis Code original which finally got recorded in the mid '80's.
When a timely Crummar Synth interjection and a more expansive arrangement than the 82/83 version. Rudimentary still but I was learning my 'studio chops' fast.

lyrics

I want you to know that I always loved you so
Though you went and let me go and you never felt the same
If only you could feel just some of the pain

The pain in my heart when we drifted apart
I thought you weren't just passing by
You were just another girl to make me cry

Chorus:
Why has love been so unkind (rpt)
Why am I always on the losing side never satisfied
Here I am again

All alone right here on my own
When will it ever end
When shall I find a girl to call my friend

Chorus
I've been here before it seems so similar
Must be the paper on the walls
It seems too familiar

You said I never listened but you know I heard
Things you said bouncing around my head
But I can't catch (rpt)
Not a word

Chorus:
