Like Real People Do - Hozier

Close my mind, shut up the world Walking to my pride harling No one there, but you and me girl And our love before our problems There I kiss you with my mind Over and over, time after time I've learned that the past Is never far behind So it's there to remind me Memories don't leave like people do They always stay with you Wether they're been good or bad Then that was something that you have People take all of the time Walk on in your life And try to hurt you But a memory wouldn't be that unkind Playing to be a friend Then desert you But I find joy in all the pain Though your body is gone The soul remains The question is why Did you have to leave Could've been this faithful as a memory Cause you see Memories don't leave like people do They always stay with you Wether they're been good or bad Then that was something that you have Memories don't leave like people do They always stay with you Wether they're been good or bad Then that was something that you have But I find joy in all the pain Though your body is gone The soul remains The question is why Did you have to leave You Could've been this faithful as a memory Cause you see Memories don't leave like people do They always stay with you Wether they're been good or bad Then that was something that you had
