Lyrics
So I feel so blue sometimes I wanna die
And so I’ve got a broken heart so what
They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men
And I know that someday I’ll forget and love again
But just between you and me
I’ve got my doubts about it
But just between you and me
You’re too much to forget
So I’ve lost the only girl I ever loved
And so I’ve never felt so low so what
I’ll just tell myself each time I wanna cry
That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes
But just between you and me
I’m not so sure about it
Cause just between you and me
You’re too much to forget
You’re too much to forget
