Everybody asks if I still love you And if you're still on my mind They ask me to tell 'em 'bout my broken heart And I tell 'em that I'm feeling fine I lie a little bit, and I proudly say Our book of love is closed And your memory never bothers me And when it does it comes and goes
It comes and goes all right Comes every morning and it goes all night I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied I just tell 'em that it comes and goes
Everybody asks if I cried when you left me And if I've cried for you since They hope I have so they can all get together And laugh it up at my expense
So I lie a little bit and I proudly say Not one tear drop flows When there is a little pain it's not a constant thing It kinda just comes and goes
It comes and goes all right Comes every morning and it goes all night I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied I just tell 'em that it comes and goes
