Lyrics
And on her doorstep
I saw that I was blind
I'd forsaken
what was mine
What had mattered
Mattered little now
We had shattered
apart somehow
Ooh
I can't help but stay the same
I remain true to my name
Time to get up
And take the long walk home
For the first time
I go alone
Do you remember
when we first met?
Chasing down the alleyways
behind my dad's
Ooh
I can't help but stay the same
I remain true to the name
Of lovers past
Good enough to lose
Good enough to choose you, too
Ooh
I can't help but stay the same
Ooh
I remain true to the name
Of lovers past
Good enough to lose
Good enough to choose you, too
