A Stain to Never Fade

(D. Ford / © Zomba Records Limited 2002)

You'll always be to me
A stain to never fade
The worst mistake I've made
A blemish on an otherwise detestable career
A studied insincere

But I'll always be to you
A record overplayed
The rain on your parade
Will you never look at me
And see beautiful again
I would I were the same
But I look for always

I don't want to understand
Or make it go away
Or hush myself when I just want to say
Will you never be to me
A surface kind of friend
I do believe that this is not the end
It's not the end

I'll always be to you
A stain to never fade
The worst mistake you've made
An episode to file under "never try again"
I would I were the same

But I want to be your adrenaline
The redness 'cross your chest
Oh lover I confess
But you'll always be to me
A stain to never fade
Well I'd do it all again
Well I look for always

I don't want to understand
Or make it go away
Or hush myself when I just want to say
Will you never be to me
A surface kind of friend
I do believe that this is not the end
It's not the end

And still I stand with the persistence of an idiot
Well I still stand, will I say

I don't want to understand
Or make it go away
Or hush myself when I just want to say
Will you never be to me
A surface kind of friend
I do believe that this is not the end
It's not the end

Hell, I do believe that this is not the end
