I can hear you smilin' on the phone,
Bet you thought that i'd be cryin'..
Go on and tell yourself i done you wrong,
But we both know you'll be lyin'..
You don't have to have a reason,
If your heart is set on leavin'..
You'll remember on some rainy day,
A little simple word or thought,
Or a birthday card i bought..
Just surrender, cause you can't get away,
You never can be free
From a memory like i'm gonna be..
That greener grass you think you see,
Is just a high heeled illusion..
Better count the cost of being free,
Is it worth all that you're losing..
It may be over, but it's not ending,
'cause there's one thing you're forgetting..
You'll remember on some rainy day,
Little things we used to do,
Like that night in baton rouge
Just surrender, cause you can't get away,
You never can be free
From a memory like i'm gonna be..
When it all comes back someday,
Don't be surprised on some lonely night
When you close your eyes..
Just surrender, cause you can't get away..
You never can be free
From a memory like i'm gonna be..
