"Don't Know Why You Keep Me On" lyrics - NICK LOWE

Our perfect love has died
You know this as well as I
We've tried and tried and tried.
Now it's time to face up to it.

One thing binds us still
And that's a chain no one can see
To which you hold the key.
Here's the lock, don't hold back.

The other day I found my wedding ring,
I'd clean forgot that I'd lost that thing.
The hurt's here, the good's gone,
I don't know why you keep me on.

Desire's what made us fight
All those times into the night.
Lord, how we'd scratch and bite,
Now we don't even do that no more.

I not trying to buck the blame,
We both know I shoulder that shame.
The hurt's here, the good's gone
I don't know why you keep me on

Every time I try to picture your face
Nowadays I see an empty space.
Tell me are you blind and deaf,
Just what is it that you think is left?

The hurt's strong, and good gone,
I don't know why you keep me on.
I don't know why you keep me on.
