He Said Lyrics - Singles - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

Just before the lights went out 

We sat up and talked about 

All the things that we would be 

I just wanted him to be with me 

But he had a mind of his own 

And he did not mind being alone 

Left me there in our little world 

Left me there like a little girl 

He said don't get hung up 

Hang ups will get you down 

He said don't look back 

Look up and then look around 

That time I was feeling high 

Like I never had to try 

To kick myself up out of bed 

Kick these worries out of my head 

He said it's better this way, yeah 

One day you'll understand 

He said I'm leavin' today and 

He let go of my hand 

I know that I'll never see him again 

I feel the same way that I saw him then 

I know that when I get back on my feet 

I will walk away from misery 

What do you say when it's all been said 

How do you feel when it's all been felt 

Where do you go when it's all gone 

And you don't care enough to carry on 

Well, I say close your eyes 

Look down deep inside 

Someone is there for you 

Someone who cares for you 

Well, I know it's easier to say then do 

Easier to look away than see it through 

I know it's easier to think than feel 

Easier to make it up than make it real 

Oh it's hard to love 

Oh it's hard not to love 

Oh it's hard to love 

Oh it's hard not to love 

Oh now take me there don't leave me here 

Oh now take me there don't leave me here 

Oh now take me home and disappear 

Oh oh oh no no no no no no
