Hey, why would she come back to Memphis again?
Do to me now what she did to me then
She walked out on me, I just can't pretend
I can't start over again

So what was I thinking when she told me goodbye?
I still can't remember, why should I try?
She took all I had, I'm no longer that guy
I can't start over again

You knew my friends, they all tell me they saw her in town
In my favorite place where we once hung around
I just can't fake it, I don't want to be found
I can't start over again

I know it sounds crazy, but how would you know?
I thought I was over her a long time ago
I believe I could take it, but it's laying me low
I can't start over again
