Nothing Cures That Lyrics - Deacon Blue

I had the dream once 

Of all I would have been 

If I'd been loved first 

Just only might have been 

I'd have been so generous 

And so much less mean 

About your chosen one 

It might have been me 

But 

All the mail left in the hallway 

All the photographs you never took 

All the gifts you never wanted 

Nothing cures that 

All the ways you showed forgiving 

All the times I'd wished'd been me 

All this hero's love I've wasted 

Nothing cures that 

To the memory 

Of love 

I write this letter down 

Remember me 

You should see me 

The way I see myself 

There's so much there to love 

You'd not know me.... 

But 

All the games I've played around you 

All the tiny tests I've set 

All the secrets that I've shown too easily 

Nothing cures that 

All the songs for which I couldn't care less 

All the nights I should have said no 

All the the things I should have hidden 

Nothing cures that,.. 

Is there a last one 

One last night with all the sad songs 

On repeat 

Just the sad ones.
