Memphis

Because of you I will always go to Memphis
Because of you it will always feel like home
I should have known the right answer was the sun place
I shoudl have trusted in the things I've always known
I was unprepared for feeling like I do
And I was unprepared for all the things that came along with you
So I'm sorry
That I couldn't save you
And I couldn't be what you need
Please forgive me
Oh you know I've tried
Cause I am still on my hands and knees
You'd better believe that I'd stay here
Till you could pull us up
Oh, but baby, I guess sometimes love is not enough
Because of you I may always need a light on
Just to prove what I feel is just your ghost
Baby because of you I'll never drink too much
I'll never understand how a drop could drown me
How it could steal your love
So I'm sorry
That I couldn't save you
And I couldn't be what you need
Please forgive me
Oh you know I've tried
Cause I am still on my hands and knees
You'd better believe that I'd stay here
Till you could pull us up
Oh, but baby, I guess sometimes love is not enough
Sometimes when the wind blows
I'll pretend that it's you
Tell me its not my fault
That I couldnt get through
And baby I'll always be sorry
That I couldnt save you
I could not save you
Please forgive me
Oh you know I've tried
Cause I am still on my hands and knees
You'd better believe that I'd stay here
Till you could pull us up
Oh, but baby, I guess sometimes love is not enough
Because of you I will always go to Memphis
