crying like church on a monday

i was dancing
with your shadow
slow down, memory's hall
i said 'wait, have i been seduced and forgotten?'
you said, 'baby, haven't we all?'

now i don't like crying
cos it only gets me wet
but i can't help failing
to remember to forget you
cos i know it's gonna be a long time

now i'm crying like a church on a monday
praying for these feelings to go away
so do me a favor baby
put down your big god
and love me like sunday again

i was hiding in your bedroom
when i saw him come inside
i can't live oh in his shadow
cos that's where i'm dancing
til i die
now i don't light candles
cos they make me see the light

but i can't help failing
to remember to forget you
cos i know it's gonna be along time
