because  of you  i will always  go to memphis
because  of you  it will always  feel like home
i  should have known  the right answer  was the simplest
i  should have trusted  in  the things  i've always known
i  was unprepared  for feeling  like i  do
 and i was  unprepared for all the things that came along with you
 so i'm sorry
 that i  couldn't save you
 that i  couldn't be  what you need
 please forgive  me
 oh you know  i tried
 'cause i'm still  on my hands  and knees
 you'd better  believe
 that i'd stay  here till you could pull  us up
 
 oh but  baby,  i guess sometimes love is not enough
because  of you  i may always  need a light  on
just  to prove  what  i feel  is just your ghost
and  baby because of you  i'll never  drink too  much
and  i'll never understand  how one drop  could drown me
 how it  could steal  your love
 so i'm sorry
 that i  couldn't save you
 that i  couldn't be  what you need
 please forgive  me
 oh you know  i tried
 'cause i'm still  on my hands  and knees
 you'd better  believe
 that i'd stay  here till you could pull  us up
 
 oh but  baby,  i guess  sometimes love is not enough
sometimes  when the wind  blows
i'll  pretend that it's you
telling  me it's not  my fault that i  couldn't get it through
 and baby i'll always  be sorry
 that i  couldn't save you, i  could not  save you
 please forgive  me
 oh you know  i tried
 'cause i'm still  on my hands  and knees
 you'd better  believe
 that i'd stay  here till you could pull  us up
 
 oh but  baby,  i guess sometimes love is not enough
because  of you  i will always  go to memphis
