Jessica Harper - Memphis lyrics

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 simplest

I should 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

That I couldn't be what you needed

Please forgive me

Oh you know I tried

Cuz I'm 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

And baby because of you I'll never drink too much

And I'll never understand how one drop could drown me

How it could steal your love

So I'm sorry

That I couldn't save you

That I couldn't be what you needed

Please forgive me

Oh you know I tried

Cuz I'm 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 is you

Telling me its not my fault

That I couldn't get through

And baby I'll always be sorry

That I couldn't 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
