Song Lyrics

Nothing you can do can make this go away,
Deep in my heart you know I wanna stay,
As the ocean is wide and the sun burns in the sky,
I will try someday to believe you didn't lie,
Thought I heard you calling out my name,
But you were only laying out the blame
As much as I want to baby I can't stay,
'Cos nothing you can say can say can make this go away.

Nothing you can do can take this pain away,
It reminds me of you every single day,
I remember how you shared your hopes and plans,
But dreams dissolve and leave just shifting sands,
Your lips were moving, meant another lie,
Pure vodka tears were all that I could cry,
In the clouds there's only 50 shades of grey,
But nothing you can do can make this go away.

Nothing you can say can take these words away,
They're the song I love but can no longer play,
'Cos what was true and honest to the core,
Now lies in an empty bed for evermore,
And I don't Know if I can be this strong,
But I don't want to be just another heartbreak song,
So I remember every lying line you say,
And know nothing you can do can make this go away.
So I remember every lying line you say,
And know nothing you can do can make this go away.
